The month was one of the worst starts to a new year in recent history for the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average losing 5.5 percent and the NASDAQ suffering an almost 8 percent drop.

Here to discuss the current market climate and whether the Wall Street adage, “"As goes January, so goes the year",” will hold true in 2016 are Foster & Motley Shareholder and Financial Planner Lucas Hall, and Chris DeSimio, a financial advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors in Cincinnati.
