rally-Mark Hulbert



Every year as Thanksgiving approaches, brokers and analysts begin referring
to an imminent Santa Claus Rally as a reason to be bullish. Their behavior
has taken on particular urgency this year, since the remarkable
post-election Trump rally appears to have gotten ahead of itself.

These brokers and analysts are just like the retailers who shamelessly roll
out their Christmas decorations as early as Halloween. That's because there
is no statistical basis for believing in a Santa Claus Rally in November or
December.

In fact, the only seasonal year-end strength that does enjoy statistical
support doesn't kick in until after Christmas.
