 Hello, 
All I am tying to point out is ,,that 
statistics  has its limitation,,, 
and 
yes 
over last 220 years,, it shows that better than 90% 
of the time ,,next year should be a banner year, 
however, 
I do not trust this train 
and 
would rather  enter on a major 
lows , this  year, 
especially  with my conservative 
money, 
and had no intention to  speak badly about 
anyone, 
just keep you alert, and try to conserve your 
capital, 
best regards 
happy healthy and wealthy year to you and 
family 
Ben

  Ben, 
   
  You’ve lost 
  me on this one.  I see no performance numbers below? Just a quote for a 
  year end number back in 1999? 
  I assume once 
  again this is some sort of tongue in cheek comment, as it would be a good way 
  of losing everyone’s respect on this forum by rambling on about something 
  which makes no sense.  To even suggest you might be selecting one period 
  in the past where the Presidential cycle didn’t work would be crazy, as only a 
  fool would do that to try and prove a point.  Perhaps you should post the 
  correct information Ben so we can see the performance numbers you  make 
  reference to, and to hear what point your trying to make, as I am sure most 
  other reader are completely baffled like me.

  Hello,   Interesting to look at the SPX prices last day of 
  the year eight years ago compared to today.

     Range thus far today has been 1465 to 
  1475.   Yearly close could be another line in the sand? It'll be 
  interesting to see what happens with a return of normal volume and the 
  outcome of the primaries.   FYI this was pointed out to me by 
  mebob247. Though I look at yearly closes from time to time I hadn't 
  realized how close it 
  was.   Cheers, Darrin
