All assets were positive in the month led by bitcoin's stunning 46% gain (in the month). Global equities continue their amazing rise, with the Dow Jones industrial average yearly gain of 27%.  

Bitcoin surpassed $20,000 earlier this month. Having fallen by 35% from that peak, Bitcoin ends the month up almost 50%, and the year up well over 1000%.

What an amazing year!  The only way to lose in 2017, was not to play.
