The US Stock Market outperforms
The US Stock Market, going into the close of the year, continues to outperform most all of the global stock markets, on a relative basis. This blog does not make predictions nor forecasts.

That has been quite a pairs trade.
Summary: The (SPY), in an Uptrend, continues outperforming The (SPDW) by over 9% over a 200 day relative strength moving (RSMA), see stock chart below:
