Not even a downgrade of the United States' AAA rating and spiraling public deficits stopped a rally in Treasuries, which were the best-performing major asset class of the year. Benchmark 10-year Treasuries returned nearly 17 percent in 2011, their largest gain since 2008. Other top performers such as gold and oil finished the year with gains of about 10 percent and 8 percent, respectively. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/treasuries-lead-gains-2011-stocks-suffer-150736163.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwdm1vaWt1BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1NDA1NjY2">Full Story</a></b></font>

<b>Reuters</b> - NEW YORK (Reuters) - For the U.S. stock market, 2011 was a long wild ride to nowhere. The broad S&P 500 endured huge daily swings but a year of drama left the index almost where it started. It lost a mere 0.003 percent, closest to unchanged since 1947, according to Standard & Poor's. Global markets have been battered this year by the euro-zone debt crisis, upheaval in the Middle East, and U.S. political gridlock. Similar events probably await investors in 2012. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/wall-st-back-square-one-p-flat-2011-150534831.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwdm1vaWt1BF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1NDA1NjY2">Full Story</a></b></font>
