IT WAS A volatile and disappointing 2011 for most investors. Expectations entering 2011 featured a continuation of economic recovery around the world from the Great Recession, despite ongoing deleveraging and residual debt and credit concerns. Debt and credit issues, however, obviously exploded over the course of last year, particularly in Europe. The investment landscape was one driven by fear and anxiety and while corporate earnings were up in most places, stock multiples were down, causing equity markets to struggle.

AFTER TWO WEEKS of disappointing economic and policy news that drove stock prices sharply lower, stocks witnessed a strong reversal in the week ended Dec 2. The main catalyst for the rally was a global coordinated central bank policy action designed to help banking liquidity, but markets also benefited from some improved economic data. For that week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 7% to 12,019, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose 7.4% to 1,244 and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 7.6% to 2,626.

EQUITY MARKETD SANK sharply during the week ended Nov 25 as the European debt crisis worsened, and the US super committee failed to come to an agreement. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 4.8% to 11,231, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index dropped 4.7% to 1,158 and the Nasdaq Composite Index sank 5.1% to 2,441 that week. As the political problems in the US and the crisis in Europe could result in any number of outcomes, investors are faced with a high degree of uncertainty. Unless more clarity emerges, markets are likely to remain trendless in the near term.
