NASDAQ is second best based upon frequency of gains, up 62.5% of the time examined with an impressive 0.63% average gain. DJIA has been modestly softer, also up 62.5% of the time with an average advance of 0.27%.

S&P 500 has been nearly as consistent, up 63.5% with an average gain of 0.24%. NASDAQ has also been a solid performer since 1971, up 33 times in 53 years (62.3%) with a respectable 0.35% average.
