The markets spent much of the week lurching in starts and fits with each day’s earnings announcements.

The markets went sideways this week as analysts continue to digest earnings announcements, economic reports, and geopolitical developments.

The doldrums continued this week as corporate earnings announcements commenced.

We’ve entered the season of downgrades.

I usually start these emails with how the markets did this week.

It seems only fitting that on this last week of 2021 we look back.

The markets continued to churn this week first higher, than lower.

And just like that, the markets give back.

Well, this has turned out to be an unusual year in so many ways.

Being a holiday week for the markets, we thought we’d take the opportunity to send out our weekly email a little earlier than usual.
