As 2017 draws to a close, we again take a look back – in chart form – at the noteworthy events and conditions that defined the year in the financial markets. These charts aren’t necessarily our most popular ones. Consider these our “editor’s picks”. The charts range from those that had the most impact on the markets in 2017 to those that may have the most impact on 2018. They don’t necessarily include after-shots of the big movers of the year. However, you will see “before” shots of many of the big movers. After all, we are money managers and the objective behind these charts is to identify potentially profitable moves before they happen. Finally, there is our chart of the year for 2017. We would love to know which charts you feel should have been included so feel free to send along your feedback. We thank you again very much for your viewership this year and wish you all a very healthy and prosperous 2018!

Will Record Short VIX Position Backfire On Speculators? – January 30
No…except for very brief moments. A record low year for volatility expectations prevented VIX futures Speculators’ largest net-short position in history from burning them too badly.
Indian Stocks In Position For Next Big Advance? – February 24
A bullish cup-&-handle formation propelled the Indian stock market to a new up-leg in its long-term bull market – and a 28% gain for 2017.
Is This Country Poised To Be The Next Big Global Breakout? (PREMIUM-UNLOCKED) – March 17
