March 2024 was yet another phenomenal month. Compared with the previous 63, this March 2024 ranked 21 of 64 with a 3.10% monthly gain.

Here's a yearly projection, followed by a March Projection, capped off with a 9-day word of caution.
February 2024 was a phenomenal month, across the previous 63 years from 1961:
This Feb ranked as the 7th best of 64 Februaries with a 5.17% monthly gain.

Generally speaking it was an average middle of the road January. Ranking 33rd of 63, this January closed up 1.59%, our MTD intra-high ranked 26th at 3.92% and our MTD intra-low ranked 23rd best at -1.33%.
While we did close Jan above the average of closes, thus far this quarter we are under-performing this same metric on the weekly chart for the 1st quarter averages. Further reading can be found in the Stats for Q1 Blog.
