<Lastly, it has been argued that since the stock market has closed higher in ALL years ending with '5' since 1900, we should therefore expect an up year. Please note this is a grand total of 11 samples - not statistically significant, and thus a highly dubious premise for a bullish forecast. It seems likely that this was pure coincidence (if anyone can think of a logical reason supporting the 'year 5' phenomenon, don't hesitate to let us know).> Why does no one ever mention that half the years ending in five are the third year of the presidential election cycle. So 2015 will be an up year as was 1995 and 1975.
