Collie,
That's what my numbers show above. My source, just like the one you quoted, are the same: Stock Trader's Almanac. Yes, 31 of 41 successful years thru 2009 (plus my own research for 2010). But it's not 100%. No guarantee.
Day #1 for 2011 was Friday, 12/23. Day #2 will be Tuesday, 12/27. So far, so good. Keep your fingers crossed!
