Have never done this before but a number of laggards in 2023 have suddenly started to catch fire, since the 10/31/23 bottom.
Here’s just a few of the names owned by clients:
SPY: +22.7% YTD return as of 12/12/23 close, vs the +10.58% YTD return as of 10/31/23
- JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM): +22.6% YTD return as of 12/12 close, vs +6.72% as of 10/31;
- Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW): -21.25% YTD return as of 12/12, vs -36.6% return as of 10/31;
- Citigroup (NYSE:C): +10.86% YTD return as of 12/12, vs -15.16% YTD return as of 10/31;

(Returns sourced from Morningstar as of 12/12/23)
The Boeing (BA) reversal is most impressive. It’s still a ’25 – ’26 story too.
Some of these are top 10 client holdings, but most are not. Some are knocking on the door now.
None of this is advice or a recommendation. Just pointing out to readers what looks to be catching a bid. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing can involve loss of principal.
Thanks for reading.
