Stock Seasonality

The worst six months of the year (May-October) gave us a bit of a corrective consolidation this year.

We are slowly approaching the best six months (November-April) of the year.

Let's see if a bullish bias for stocks will develop.

I do not trade or invest according to seasonality. For that purpose I only use the Trend Trade & Investment Strategies which are explained at the bottom of this blog. Please also read the disclaimer there.
