How Asset Classes Performed In 2018

Graph above is from Visual Capitalist and it's one of many I could show you that attempts to illustrate how various asset classes did last year.  The short answer is all asset classes except cash lost you money in 2018.  Last year was the perfect storm for what could go wrong almost everywhere.   Longer term of course the equity asset classes listed above have done very well, especially since the 2009 March bottom.  However, stocks don't go up in a straight line and last year was a perfect example of that.

*Long ETFs related to all of the equity classes listed above in both client and personal accounts.
