. . .and after everything’s been stacked and counted, here is the final tally on the primary investment markets for 2016:
Crude Oil –– +31% Silver –– +15.2% Commodities –– +11.6% Dow Jones Industrial Average –– +11.5% Gold –– +8.7% Home Values –– +6.5% U.S. Dollar –– +3.6%
After a solid year of the financial media pumping up stocks and the dollar and talking down gold and silver, stocks did only marginally better than gold and worse than silver, and the dollar didn’t come close.
