While not a perfect predictor of stocks (is there a perfect predictor), it's true that when S&P 500 returns in the first five trading days of a new year have been higher, the full-year total return for the S&P 500 has been positive 80% of the time. This week Brian discusses that factoid, and what it might mean for your investment accounts.
