  • Tax Loss Selling vs. the January Effect [View article]
    The biggest problem with Indicators which become Popular is that everyone knows about them.

    Tax loss selling could be counted on in early December and one could look at the new lows in Barron's to see what might be interesting for an early Jan. pop. And then people started selling earlier.

    Ditto with October massacres, you had September selloffs in anticipation of the massacre which did not materialze.

    I used to be able to pick up a copy in a Walgreens in Downtown Chicago but that was probably because of its proximity to the Board of Trade building. I would think that a large bookstore would carry it, Magazine section probably not far from the Farmer's Almanac.

    I used to use the Farmer's Almanac for Ag and Oil trades. They can be very uncanny regarding weather conditions. Very Cold weather outlook for Midwest and Northeast will do wonders for your wallet, especially if you read about it in October. IMHO
