Historically the strongest month of the year for stocks, November did not disappoint investors worldwide, with the S&P 500 rallying a solid 8.9% and the NASDAQ Composite outperforming again with a 10.8% gain.
Not only that, but the year-to-date bull market gained significant breath, broadening across different sectors of the market. As a consequence, the lower-beta Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a fat 8.7% gain, its best monthly performance in more than a year, as the small-cap Russell 2000 notched a similar 9% gain.
Sentiment was boosted mainly by lowering inflation and a more dovish Fed, prompting the market to re-evaluate interest rate expectations for 2024.
Against such a backdrop, well-allocated stock investors should have also garnished substantial gains. However, unfortunately, such is not necessarily true for those simply positioned on the wrong stocks.
