SMALL CAPS STRENGTHEN AS INVESTORS SIGNAL OPTIMISM IN U.S. ECONOMY
Strong performance for small caps: Two things really jump out on the chart. The first is how badly small caps underperformed large caps during 2018 and 2019, and the second is how much they've outperformed large caps over the last year.

MARKETS CHOPPY INTO NEW YEAR AS DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL
With the Democrats taking control of the White House, Congress, and Senate, the election is complete. One of the major concerns is if they will raise taxes. We feel they will be slow to do so; with an economy that is very weak and unemployment high, it would put additional burden on the economy.

NEW VACCINE ARRIVAL AND END OF YEAR SURGE
The HCM-BuyLine® is positive and strong. There is more good news on the COVID-19 front as Moderna is very close to being approved for distribution, possibly as soon as Friday. If the Food and Drug Administration authorizes Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate, it will be the second vaccine to be made available to Americans during the coronavirus pandemic, and the first-ever authorized product for the 10-year-old biotech.
