Book description
Jeffrey Hirsch discusses how to capture market-beating returns by
following specific stock market cycles
While predicting the direction of the stock market at any given point
is difficult, it's a fact that the market exhibits well-defined and
sometimes predictable patterns. While cycles do not repeat exactly all
of the time, statistical evidence suggests that cyclical tendencies
are very strong and should not be ignored by investors. The Little
Book of Stock Market Cycles will show you how to profit from
these recurring stock market patterns and cycles.
Written by Jeffrey Hirsch, President of the Hirsch Organization and
Editor-in-Chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, this reliable
resource explains why these cycles occur, provides the historical
evidence behind them, and shows you how to capture consistent profits
from them moving forward. In addition to describing his most widely
followed cycles and patters, Hirsch also discusses both longer term
boom-bust economic cycles and shorter term tendencies involving the
best days, weeks, and months of the year to trade the market.
- The methods found here follow everything from presidential
election cycles to the "Santa Claus" effect
- Written by Jeffrey Hirsch, the pre-eminent authority on market
cycles and seasonal patterns
- The strategies explored are easy-to-implement, and based on
research that has proven profitable over the course of time
For investors looking to beat the buy-and-hold philosophy, The
Little Book of Stock Market Cycles will provide simple,
actionable ideas that have stood the test of time and consistently
outperformed the market.
