'Winter is Coming' for Stocks - The Mysterious 'Halloween Effect' Shows Stocks Perform Better November to April

Stock markets historically perform much better from Nov-April than May-Oct, dubbed the "Halloween Effect."

This effect has been studied across over 100 countries over centuries, and found to be remarkably consistent.

Investing in stocks May-Oct is often worse than just holding cash in a bank account.

The reason behind this effect is completely unexplained, defying logic and theory.

But the data shows it works, so historically now is a good time to buy stocks before the typical winter rally.
