That's according to Nautilus Investment Research which measured the "Dogs of the S&P Effect," or "the tendency of the prior year’s laggards to outperform the prior year’s leaders." The laggards tend to outperform leaders by an average of 4.84% in January "as tax loss selling abates and bottom fishers enter the scene," says Nautilus. However, Nautilus warns, "the effect is very short-lived and reverses completely in February" when laggards tend to underperform leaders by an average of 4.76%. The 25 biggest laggards of 2016, according to Nautilus, are presented below. 1. Endo International Ticker: ENDP Sector: Health Care Stock price: $15.67 2016 YTD return: -74.4% 2.
