This could be the first year ever where stocks, bonds, gold and crude oil all returned double digits, according to LPL Financial.

The S&P 500 has returned nearly 22% in 2019 while gold and crude are sporting returns of 16.1% and 17.8%, respectively. Treasuries are right on the cusp, with the the 10-year Treasury note up more than 9%

Through Wednesday’s close, just 75 stocks in the S&P 500 were down for the year while 361 were up at least 10%.
