Roundup: January Indicators
This is a roundup of our recent posts re: the January Indicators (i.e. the ability of the start of the year to predict the remainder of the year).
A test of the month of January’s ability to predict the remainder of the year. In short, I think there’s a wee bit of truth to the January Indicator, but as active traders, this is all shop talk and polite dinner conversation.
>> Investing with the January Indicator
Test of a simple strategy that uses the January Indicator to trade the S&P 500 over the last 80 years.
>> First Five Days of January Indicator
A variation of the January Indicator, this one using the first five trading days of the year rather than the whole month of January. In short, I’m calling this one debunked in today’s market.
Happy Trading,
