Thanks for making post of this information. Even though I beat the average for my area of the country with a loss of about 2.2% I am not thrilled with my results. In review of S&P's as reported earnings for the the fourth quarter of 2015 I am finding an improvement in reported earnings as the S&P 500 Index started the quarter at $92.23 in October and finished the quarter at $95.38 ... this is an improvement and a turn-a-round for earnings. If earnings improve like S&P has projected then the markets although off to a rough start should also improve.
Earnings season starts Monday with Alcoa reporting after market close.
Here's the real take-away from Junkster's article. "Markets are off to a scary start in 2016. The average investor is already down 5.1% in 2016 through the end of yesterday’s trading day."
