"How does it work for the Southern hemisphere

Go away in NOV instead of May ?"

Just on this one point RF - I saw an interesting Alan Kohler the other night on the telly.

He reckons in most years the ASX rises until Easter and then goes down post Easter (which is where the rhyme about May comes from).

But he reckons every 5th year it does the opposite . Languishes and falls until Easter and then picks up post Easter.

The last times this happened was 2009 and 2004. Interesting/funny to see if it happens again this year.
