2006 Year end review

Posted by btr Sat, 30 Dec 2006 18:25:00 GMT

In 2006, RUT performed the best followed by INDU and S&P 500. QQQQ recovered the 10% loss from the mid-year and ended up more than 5%.

Both QQQQ and RUT are in the overhead resistence levels, only INDU and S&P 500 broke out. INDU is at all-time high and S&P 500 is about 100 points away from its all-time high.
