Vig Co. January 4 2025 Performance Update

Good morning:

The stock market had a mixed week, which included the final sessions in 2024 and final sessions of the Santa Claus Rally period. The major indices lost steam at the end of the year after registering huge gains, but some rebound action kicked in at the end of the week.

Small stocks outperformed their larger peers this week, leading the Russell 2000 to settle 1.1% higher. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each declined 0.5% for the week. The S&P surged 23.3% in 2024 and the Nasdaq Composite closed 28.6% higher for the year.

This week's price action left the S&P 500 lower over the Santa Claus Rally period, which has been good for an average gain of 1.3% for the S&P 500 since 1950, according to The Stock Traders Almanac. It has been observed that significant downturns have occurred (but not always) in years when Santa didn't show. To that end, bear in mind that Santa didn't show last year and the S&P 500 went on to log a 23.3% price gain for 2024.

Vig Co. was down 1.1% this week.
