The first 5 "stock market" days of January conclude Jan. 8, 2014. Mark your calendar for this tracker. And then Jan. 31.

I'm not sure how this duo works, say, if the market has a Jan. 2-8 gain, but a loss for Jan. 2-31 (or vice versa). I would think the latter period would have more weight (since it spans a longer period). We'll see!
