3 Stocks You Need To Watch For The Santa Claus Rally 🎅

Historically, owning stocks in December has been a smart bet because of year-end bonuses, retirement contributions, and portfolio rebalancing. This is particularly true between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, a period so strong investors now grown to expect a "Santa Claus rally" every year. So far, the market is rallying in line with seasonal strength, but warning signals are flashing, suggesting investors ought to prepare for a pullback even if it's uncertain.

The general strategy is to purchase equities one or two days prior to a holiday. Short-term traders would look to sell just after the holiday while longer-term investors would wait until year end. Both strategies have proven to be profitable plays. The theory behind this effect is that traders are lightening up their holdings (selling) prior to the three-day holiday in order to avoid any unexpected bad news. The selling pressure drives stock prices down, making those days a good opportunity for buying lower in the range.
