I think this is the first year that the
Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA) has ever gained 5,000 points in a
single year. In fact, the Dow Jones was up every
month of 2017. That's never happened
before in history.
In fact, we've
gone 14 consecutive months without a
decline and not only were we up
every month but 2017 represented the
lowest year ever of stock market
volatility meaning that even though the
market was going up it barely ever went
down so it never made anybody nervous.
