If lately you feel like you would be better off not even getting out of bed in the morning, you may be right. Examining the performance of the S&P 500 during market hours vs. after hours shows that over the last 50 trading days, the S&P 500 (as measured using SPY) has gapped up an average of 7 basis points, while the average intraday return has been a decline of 17 basis points. Just one more reason to hit the snooze button tomorrow morning.
