Over the last several years overall volatility has seemed to bottom out in December more than in any other month. Many people have suggested that this is due to the fact that December does have a tendency to be a bullish month for stocks and that there are fewer trading days overall in the month. This seasonality effect is just another tool in the long-term investor’s toolbox that can possibly lead to one making more informed decisions.
In addition to volatility potentially falling to year lows in December there are several other seasonality trends to pay attention too. Please consult with your financial professional for other ideas going forward in this difficult environment. Remember, past performance is no guarantee of future results.
