This charts shows the major markets YTD performance.  The Nasdaq at up 15.36% YTD is doing the best while the Russell 2000 small cap index is only up 1.85% YTD, but that still beats cash and CDs!   (See Best CD Rates) 

This chart shows the data in tabular form.  

If your own portfolios are not up somewhere between 1.85% and 15.36 YTD and you didn't get double digit gains last year, then you should consider what you are doing wrong and look to make changes, perhaps with the help of a subscription to my newsletter.
