Quarter in Review
July 20, 2012 | For those who watch the investment markets, the first half of 2012 was a strange and somewhat harrowing experience. The first four months of the year saw U.S. stocks zoom upward by almost 10 percentage points, building on one of the best January performances in history. Then came May, when U.S. equity markets gave back more than 6% of their value. June was a muddle – until the final day of the month, when the S&P 500 gained back 2.49% in a single trading day and essentially saved the quarter from being considered a total disaster. If there is a lesson here – and the markets are always teaching us new ones – it is that the drops, and the rises, take us by surprise, and are almost impossible to predict.
