As we end the month of June, traditional summer-seasonal
stock trading patterns emerge. For instance, at this time most investors
appear to be more concerned with family holidays, summer camp and week-end
cottage getaways.
Overall, investors tend to be less aggressive as the
market becomes increasingly thin and volatile. On the contrary, this July
to August period is an excellent time to be actively pruning, buying and
recalibrating stock portfolios. With many investors absent due to summer
seasonality, excellent buying and selling opportunities frequently occur.
This circumstance often presents profitable windows of opportunity for the alert
investor. |
