Financial Planners Fort Myers— Happy New Year!

Eric Marvin, CFP®

Well it is almost time to declare the end of 2011.  I know for many investors this has been a frustrating environment to live through with headlines dominating the trading landscape all year long.  The big question on everyone’s mind is if 2012 will be similar or be entirely different?  Only time will tell on 2012, but the one thing that should remain present is the presence of volatility in the global financial system.
One fun fact being that today is the last trading day of the year.  Did you know the NASDAQ has closed down 10 of the last 11 years on the last trading day of the year?  We will see if this holds up today, but as we have come to expect things can change at any given point.
As a reminder the NASDAQ is an unmanaged index.  Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
