The Little Book of Stock Market Cycles How to Take Advantage of Time-proven Market Patterns (Hardcover)

From the Publisher: The Little Book of Stock Market Cycles will show investors how to profit from recurring stock market patterns and cycles. The editor of the Stock Trader's Almanac, Jeff Hirsch is preeminent authority on popular stock market patterns, such as the January barometer, presidential election cycles, and the best six months strategy. The January barometer has predicted the direction of the ensuring year with 85% accuracy since 1950. The best six months strategy has been called the "best mechanical system ever" and has consistently delivered market-beating results. In the Little Book, Hirsch will explain why these cycles occur; will provide the historical evidence behind the cycles; and will show investors how to profit from them going forward. In addition to describing his most widely followed cycles and patters, Hirsch will discuss both longer term boom-bust economic cycles and shorter term tendencies involving the best days, weeks, and months of the year to trade the market. For investors looking to beat the buy-and-hold philosophy, The Little Book of Stock Market Cycles will provide simple, actionable ideas that have stood the test of time and consistently outperformed the market.
