Markets: Waiting on a Seasonal “Buy” Signal After Recent Chop

Thus far, this year’s “Worst Months” have been choppy – with declines in late-July/early-August, a second round at the start of September, and again here at the beginning of October. Current weakness appears to be setting up nicely for our annual Seasonal MACD “Buy” signal, highlights Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.

GDX: A Great Way to Play Seasonal Strength in Gold and Silver Miners

Three new sector seasonalities begin in the month of July. One is for gold and silver mining stocks. This seasonality is based upon strength in the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index that typically begins in late July and lasts until late December. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is our preferred ETF to take advantage of seasonal strength, explains Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.

Reposition in May! Worst Six Months Great Time for Sidelines

Elevated risk has been historically observed during the "Worst Six Months" of the year. Tepid returns during May-October make reducing long exposure and developing a defensive strategy the wise approach. In the Almanac Investor Stock and ETF Portfolios, we do not merely "sell in May and go away." Instead, we take some profits, trim, or outright sell underperforming stock and ETF positions, tighten stop losses, and limit adding new long exposure to positions from sectors that have demonstrated a record of outperforming during the "Worst Months" period.

Giving Up the Bear Market for Lent

There are loads of headline risk, inflation, and recession fears out there, as well as geopolitical concerns. But this recent selloff was rather typical seasonal behavior for February, especially the latter half of the month. February is the weakest link in the Best Six Months, November-April, and is the second worst month of the year. Plus, on the heels of the massive rally of the October and December lows, the market sure needed a bit of a respite. After a textbook Stock Trader's Almanac 4-Year Cycle midterm year October bear market bottom the prospects were bullish for 2023 at the outset. Now that the market has hit Jeff's Bullish January Indicator Trifecta his 2023 Forecast Best Case Scenario is in play.
