AdvisorShares Weekly Market Review-Take the under on this time being different

December 4, 2017--Highlights of the Week Ending 12/4/2017
Macro
November closed out as the eighth month in a row of gains for the S&P 500. Eddy Elfenbein tells us that November was the strongest of the eight and that December has historically been one of the strongest months of the year.

For the month the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 3.77%, the S&P 500 was up 2.77%, the NASDAQ added 2.14% and the Russell 2000 chipped in with 2.79%.

A lot has been made this year of the huge performance dispersion between growth and value. In 2016 of course, value outperformed noticeably but this year growth has absolutely trounced value, outperforming by 1200-1300 basis points depending on the proxies you look at.
