fun fact: There is never a down year ending in 5 thru out human history

And here’s a fun fact: 2015 of course is a year that ends in a 5. For what it’s worth, going back to 1905, the stock market (as measured by the Dow until 1925, and then the S&P 500 thereafter) has never been down in a year ending in 5; with the average return a whopping 32% (and only two years without double-digit returns).
