Stocks finish at the lows of the day

The S&P 500 finished down 19.6

On the year:

  • S&P 500 -0.73%
  • Nasdaq +5.7%
  • DJIA -2.24%
  • TSX Comp -11.1%

A similar thing happened on Dec 31 last year and the index then started January 2015 with three consecutive declines.

Five days in August and a lot of chop was the story of the year.
