The stock market finished strong in 2013, but has not been able to gain much traction in 2014. Instead, money has moved into the Gold SPDR (GLD) and the 20+ YR T-Bond ETF (TLT). The intermarket PerfChart shows TLT and GLD with 4+ percent gains year-to-date. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 SPDR (SPY) is down around 1% and the Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) is up around 1%. How's that for split.
