Hi Friends,
2021 was a wild year in a lot of ways, and the stock market was no exception. Despite a strange economy and multiple disruptions to industry, the US stocks posted good gains. However, not everything went up the same, providing a case for active management over passive investing.
The S&P 500 index posted a gain of 26.9% in 2021, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a gain of 18.7%. The tech heavy Nasdaq had an up and down year, but still came out ahead 21.4% when all was said and done.
Finding the right stocks can make a portfolio shine, so I tend to favor that over just buying all companies in a passive strategy.
2021 was a good year for the stock market ,and we shall see what happens in 2022!
Thanks for coming by,
Brian
