The stock exchanges ended on the upswing at near record highs. Commodities were down, especially oil, which is causing some chaos and conjecture. While there are some anxieties there is also cautious optimism about what what will happen in 2015. Most economic indicators are moderately positive, but still fragile, particularly when considering the world situation.

In the following tables the stock price is for the close of trading on December 31st, Month % Chg is compared to November 30th, YTD % Chg is compared to December 31, 2013, and the 24 Mos % Chg is compared to December 31, 2012.

The PBR1000 October 2014 Snapshots include news and stock data through October 31st and annual 10-K reports filed with the SEC from 2013 through August 2014.

A sample of The PBR1000 May 2014 Snapshot is available for download at the top of the “Sample Snapshots” page.

The tables below are compiled from The PBR1000 October 2014 Snapshots, with 14 reports. Current The PBR1000 Subscribers should have already received the report.

September ended  with significant losses. Then there were a lot of significant ups and downs in October, which finally ended at or near record highs. Perhaps the reason is that Americans were very focused on what was happening in the US. The economy is still weak, but compared to the rest of the world, is showing the most stability. The Federal Reserve Board has stopped the Quantitative Easing program, but keeping interest rates at record lows. The midterm election hype could not be avoided. No one was safe from all the local and statewide election ads, and the conjecturing on whether or not Republicans will become the majority party in the US Senate. Other than the Ebola crisis and the concern that it might come to the US, there just was not time for the normal news coverage in the more volatile parts of the world. Another factor was the dramatic drop in oil prices. Was this real or fabricated? At any rate, it surely helped consumers feel a little better and maybe optimistic. Now that the election has passed the big question for November is if the stock market will show the typical end of the year growth, or will international situations put us through another roller coaster session?
