At the end of Q2, I posted returns by asset class (by representative ETF), as well as year-to-date, last twelve months, and last five years. While there is still no predictive power in this data, I updated those charts as of the end of Q3 2016 for those of you that are interested (see below).

Q3 2016 Asset Class Returns

While Commodities and Real Estate Investment Trusts were down slightly during Q3, other asset classes were positive. All major asset classes are now positive year-to-date, and all except Commodities are positive for the past 52-weeks (this should turn around by the end of Q4 as the horrible Q4 2015 Commodity crash will roll off the 52-week chart by then).
