Its been a tough year for investors once again with the S&P/ASX 200, closed at 4745 points on December 31 last year and as of last Friday November 25 had fallen to 3984. A whopping 16% loss of market value (excluding dividends).
The market worked hard for the first 7 weeks of the year, driving to a high of 4939, before plunging to 4480 (almost 10%) just under a month later. We recovered quickly; hitting the year high in the second week of April, but that was to be the brightest spot of 2011.
The trend has been pretty ugly since, and we're off around 20% since that mid-April peak.
