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.
