2015 was a down year, so the Market Return will be down. Assuming the market is up by the end of 2016, the Market return will be UP. If it ended at the same level as the beginning of 2015, it should be a wash over the two years. But if one tracked their dividends likely they would be higher in 2016 than 2015.
Watching and trying to match Market Returns is where panic and greed come in. One feels they must Sell when they've got a sizable gain and Buy when they feel the prices are down. It's the Financial Industrys dream come true.
