As discussed in last month’s commentary, we felt November was going to be one of the more pivotal months that this country has seen in quite some time. Well, November lived up to its billing. As the page turned to the final month of the year, November experienced one of the most divisive U.S. Presidential Elections, the announcement of multiple vaccines’ effectiveness, and new all-time highs in the equity markets. December is sure to be intense as well while President Trump continues to contest the election, and as many states are determining how to handle the rise in cases of COVID-19 in tandem with the potential distribution of a vaccine. December will close the book on what has been one of the most interesting years in many of our lifetimes. We will keep this month’s commentary brief as we look forward to recapping the year in our annual commentary next month.
