“even though there's a strong chance that the Market's going to do well the last week of December and into January there's an even bigger chance that year over year the Market's going to be up so the sooner you tend to invest the better”

What was said around it

the S P 500 and 65 of the time this has proven true however even though having a 65 to 75 chance of something happening is really enticing it's actually not as good as you might expect if you invest in the S P 500 since 1950 there have only been 15 times where the markets closed lower at the end of the year meaning you have a 75 chance of making money if all you do is dump everything into the S P 500 on January 1st of every year and then do nothing but all of that is to say that even though there's a strong chance that the Market's going to do well the last week of December and into January there's an even bigger chance that year over year the Market's going to be up so the sooner you tend to invest the better not Financial advice of course only time is going to tell how well this age is and maybe we're in the 25 chance that Santa Claus never comes this year but regardless year over year you have a good chance at making money if all you do is buy in Don't Panic sell and keep smashing a like button for the YouTube algorithm so with that said you guys thank you so much for watching also make sure to subscribe hit the notification Bell feel free to add me on Instagram and on my second Channel
