the days both before and after Thanksgiving have been positive in 6 of the past 8 years, and 33 out of 35 years prior to that. You skipped a few years in between; from John Pitera's post: Yale Hirsch in his stock traders almanac pointed out that since 1950, the day before and after T-Day were up, 33 out of 35 years. He published that in 1987, and sure enough it distorted the seasonality as the days were down 4 out of the next 5 years. But then their has been a net gain over 6 of the past eight years. JB
