Recently First Trust issued an analysis of annual market
statistics showing declines vs returns based on the S&P 500 index for the 36 year period of
1980 - 2015
Too much information?
In simple terms, the black bars show the return for the calendar year and the orange bars show
the maximum decline in the S&P 500 index during the course of the
year – up is good, bad is down.
Who were the presidents during this 36 year period?
3 Democrats over 16 years 3 Republicans over 20 years
