Somehow that doesn’t have the same ominous ring as “winter is coming.” Truth be told, the spring is far from scary, at least from an investors view point. It is a time to relish in greed, make big bets and eat at the very best steakhouses. As a matter of fact, restaurants do quite well during March.
Inside of The PPT, I just posted the seasonality report for March. In layman’s terms, it is a screen that scours our database of over 5,000 stocks and ETFs to find stocks that outperform during the month. You’d be surprised at some of the “coincidences” that reoccur over and over again.
For example: BWLD has never traded down in March. I’ve been saying this since 2007, here and on the old Fly site. If you dig a little deeper into why BWLD is 10-0 with an average monthly return of 9.31%, it’s all thanks to March Madness basketball.
QCOM has been up 20 out of 23 years, CMG smashes, as well as LULU and LL; but you’ll probably want to avoid FIG and CZZ.
All in all FAS, TNA, URTY and DRN outperform all other ETFs, with 80% success rates and 10%+ average monthly returns.
Since 1993, the S&P has been up 71% of the time in March. Vladimir Putin is well aware of these facts and has likely halted his attack on The Ukraine because of it, likely very long S&P futures in his personal $10 billion slush fund account, giddy like a little school girl at the specter of making outrageous returns today, following that little gambit he played in Crimea.

GM boss,
OXBT OPK was pounding table for weeks…

“Gambit” may be too strong of a word.
Perhaps a “sashay” or “stroll” into the Ukraine would describe it.
Certainly nothing like what was in the NY Times on this date in 1944 (it was a real paper back then).

Speaking of seasonality, UN in December is still my favorite. Granted, this post is from last year, but it now boasts a record of 28-0: http://ibankcoin.com/elizamae/2013/01/02/the-streak-continues/
all that’s left is Putin posting a pic on his twitter account of him and bernanke chillen back passing a blunt.
Hahaha. That’s funny
