Key Points of the Santa Clause Rally
Dec 25th through to 2nd trading day of Jan
34 of the past 45 holiday seasons have yielded positive returns
Institutional investors typically ARE NOT in the market over this holiday period

According to The Stock Trader’s Almanac (2016 edition), the trading phenomenon known as the Santa Claus Rally, which refers to the last week of December and the first two days of January, has seen markets finish the year with a positive return 34 of the last 45 years since 1969!

With increased consumer spending, big institutional investors settling up their books for the holidays, and an all-round positive holiday spirit in the air, it makes sense that this seasonal trend occurs. Though past results can never guarantee future performance, the data seems to support those rallies during these time periods happen more often than not.h refers to the last week of December and the first two days of January has seen markets finish the year with a positive return 34 of the last 45 years since 1969!
