Do you know what the January Effect is? Or how it might impact stocks? Learn more here:

Analyzing the January Effect begins with identifying the stocks that have the potential to dip around the holiday season.

According to data from the S&P 500 since 1928, January shows an average 1% return, but this is outperformed by the likes of March , April and November . September is traditionally a down month , so it may be wise to also consider these seasonal patterns.
