 The Austrlian sharemarket has ended today's trade flat. But for the year, the market has gained 15 percent. The All Ord's at 5553. The ASX 200 index adding 703 points for 2013. The major drivers at the markets once again came from the big four banks and the major service companies. And that's been reflected in the top five best performers in the ASX 200 index. Law firm Slater&Gordon the stand out. JB Hi-Fi the best retail 1 stock. Conversely, every loser in the bottom five is involved in the mining sector 2. Gold miner Silver Lake the worst off. US stocks closed flat, but are poised 3 to record their best annual gain in 16 years. The Australian dollar recovered some ground against the greenback and is buying 89.19 US cents.
