Consumerism Commentary: First Five Days of 2009 May Indicate Stock Market’s Performance

  • Jasper · 1 year ago
    You calculated a success ratio based on years where the first five days showed growth. Did you also calculate the correlation/ratio for years where the first five days showed a (strong) decrease?

    Jasper: That's a good question, I'll see if I can put the numbers together.

    Most definitely not! Relying on this kind of thing is baaaad news. Same as all the junk sports announcers always use: "Teams never come back when they're down 0-3 in a best of seven series."

    Until it actually happens (see Red Sox). I would urge readers to try to ignore they even heard this.

    I hope you're right on this because today was definitely a good start. Nice way to start off the year.
