As we wind down 2015, the second half of the year has been rather volatile – but in the end, the S&P 500 is about flat for the year. Now don’t forget, the second half of December is historically the best part of the month, so don’t give up on Santa coming to town quite yet.

Here’s a chart that seems to turn up each year around this time, so we decided to make our own version. Here are all the US equity annual returns going back 200 years …. but we did it in the form of a Christmas tree! Should the S&P rally a little bit from here, it will finish between 0%-10%, this the most ‘popular’ return going back 200 years.

Love the Gaussian Christmas tree!
I hate to say it guys, . . .
but it doesn’t look like a Christmas tree to me 😉
Though it does still look pretty green, so one must conclude your still in the money.
Merry Christmas to you all your families what ever happens.
God bless.
