BIP - Road To Financial Independence: My December 100-Stock Portfolio Review
First of all, Happy New Year everybody!
Similarly to 2017, 2018 closed with a bang, this time however the December rally from 2017 was replaced with the Christmas rout of 2018. The absolute low was reached on Christmas Eve but I had already spent too much during the year that I was lacking fire power to capitalize on that sharp correction with markets briefly entering bear market territory.
The Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 all closed in the red but until early October it has been another banner year for stocks.
