The small-cap bounce
By Ron Surz
US stocks had a phenomenal run in November, attributed to the Trump win.
Small cap value stocks ruled big time with a 13% gain.
In the spirit of sensationalism, a 13% monthly return is 333% annualized!
Gold Pummeled
Diversifying outside of US stocks was not smart, except for oil in the last few days of the month because OPEC seemed to reach a curtailment agreement.
Gold got hammered, losing 8% (-63% annualized).
A strengthening dollar response to the Trump win stripped off all the luster.
