31/10/24 - 12:26 pm
Key Takeaways
Markets perform better from November to April than in other months, a phenomenon called “The Halloween Effect.”
A study of 300 years of data from 108 countries found November-to-April stock returns were on average 4.5% higher.
Brooke Thackray’s book “Time In, Time Out: Outsmart the Market Using Calendar Investment Strategies” determines the best time to take advantage of entering the market on October 28 and exiting May 5. From 1950 to 2024, the S&P 500 gained an average of 8.4% during the November-to-April period.
