Morning from RC+N
Quiet markets generally dominate the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, and Monday was no exception, with the Dow Jones Industrials (DJ INDICES: ^DJIA ) trading at breakeven as of 12:25 p.m. EST. Broader markets were little changed as well, as traders pointed to a slight rebound in oil prices to justify the generally positive trends in stocks. Yet even though Dow investors have enjoyed a roughly 9% gain in 2014, they still have every right to be disappointed, because two other less-followed Dow averages crushed the Industrials this year. For those reassessing their investments at year's end, the big question is whether these outperforming markets could beat the Dow again in 2015.
