The S&P500 and Nasdaq Composite headed opposite directions in the 1st quarter of 2018 with the S&P5oo falling (-1.17)%* while the Nasdaq gained 2.33%*.  (* percentages listed without dividends)

These mild returns actually masked a much more volatile quarter of price swings that featured a decline of approximately 12% in less than 2 weeks from the late January all-time highs in the popular indexes to their panic lows on February 9th. While the major indexes rebounded in late-Feb through mid-March, only the Nasdaq was able to briefly score new all-time price highs before all the averages succumbed to serious bouts of selling again and retested the Feb lows on tough tariff talk and fears of higher interest rates.
