Market Memo

December 2022 – By Bob Veres

The market is experiencing another lurching downturn after experiencing another couple of weeks of encouraging gains, and that tells you most of what you need to know about the markets.  Despite the breathless reporting in the financial press, stock prices go up, and down, and up, and down more or less at random (in the short term) and consistently show incremental gains (in the longer term).  Unfortunately, it’s hard to see that generally upward trend for all the short-term noise.
