The Four-Day Work Week

I’ve long argued that being lazy is an advantage with investing.
Spurred on by my previous post showing how the market has performed this year by each day of the week, I looked at how the S&P 500 performed has performed since the beginning of 2009 if we were to exclude all Fridays.

I should add that these numbers don’t include transaction costs. It seems that investors have grown leery of holding stocks going into the weekend.
