WSE WEEKLY MARKET SUMMARY
• Monthly summary - 12.2008
The year 2008 is over. One feels tempted to add, fortunately. Hopefully, nothing in the near future will match last year’s events. The developments in the USA and on many other stock exchanges were comparable to what transpired in 1930 (when the DJIA fell by a third) and 1931 (when it fell by half). In 2008, the index lost up to 50 percent during the year. It was also the worst year in the 17-year history of the WSE.
