It’s a Christmas Miracle!!
Stocks pop as Nasdaq closes in on best year since 2003. Seems in spite of 2 wars and global instability at a post WWII high, runaway inflation and political chaos, the markets are stronger than ever. Part of this has to do with the fact that the US economy is stronger than most everywhere else and foreign capital continues to flow our direction.
I’m still a skeptic, and looking for high yield ETF’s etc. This won’t continue forever, but I’ve been wrong before!!

Fresh economic data showed that unemployment claims ticked slightly higher in the week ending Dec. 23. Americans filed 218,000 jobless claims, up from 205,000 the week prior and above the 210,000 economists had projected.
Broadly, economists have been closely tracking the labor market for any signs of weakness that could indicate the US economy is headed for a broader slowdown in 2024, but Thursday’s data did little to increase any concerns.
“Businesses have been extremely reticent to let go of workers that they struggled to find over the last 3 years,” Jefferies US economist Thomas Simons wrote in a note to clients on Thursday. “We doubt that they will be able to hold on to everyone indefinitely, but they’re going to try. … The chances of a soft landing in the labor market have increased, but a landing of some sort is coming for sure.”

The economy continued to be strong enough to avoid negative GDP growth. S&P 500 Index ETFs, including SPLG, continue to outperform other broad-based benchmark ETFs while the Nasdaq-100 ETF, QQQ, is poised to put another impressive year into the books. Despite predictions of a long-cycle value regime following the problems growth had in the first half of 2022, growth continued to beat value and large-cap continued to beat small-cap.
