The first trading week of 2010 is 2 days in and its looking good so far.  The Dow is up over a hundred points due to substantial gains made on the first trading day of 2010.  The Nasdaq and S&P also followed those gains with more gains today.  How does this relate to the entire trading year? That’s what we seeked.  Looking at the change in the Dow over the first 5 days of each year and comparing it to the entire year’s change yielded pretty unequivocal results.  We’ll let the graph speak for itself.  The data points are collected from this decade and prove that this is a pretty good start to what we predict to be a pretty good year for stocks.
