December 2015 Market Review for by Sloy, Dahl & Holst, Inc.

Ron Sloy, CFP of Sloy, Dahl & Holst, Inc. located in Portland, Oregon, announces a current analysis of market conditions. Stability in the financial markets has returned in November. In October it was mentioned that the market had bottomed out and it was a great time to buy. Since November, the Dow has risen around 2,500 points. We believe the markets will continue to raise in December and expect a Santa Claus rally which is when people purchase stocks in anticipation of the rise in stock prices during the month of January, often referred to as the January effect.
