Why december could be your trading sweet spot
Ever notice how everyone gets a little merrier in December? Well, turns out the S&P 500 feels the same way! December isn’t just for holiday cheer—it’s historically the market’s favorite month to spread some joy.
Think of it as the S&P 500’s version of holiday spirit: while other months are hit-or-miss, December delivers gains about 75% of the time, making it truly the most wonderful time of the year!
But here’s where it gets even more interesting. When the S&P 500 enters December already up 20% for the year (sound familiar?), the final month has been even more festive. Looking at the last 10 times this happened:
- 🎯 Winners: 9 out of 10 Decembers finished positive
- 🎄 Average gain: a jolly 2.4%
It’s like the market’s version of a holiday bonus! 🎁
Of course, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. But knowing these historical patterns can help you plan your trading strategy.
