Jeffrey A. Hirsch, Editor in Chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, to kick off our 2023-2024 season with 2 enlightening topics!
First Presentation Description
Understanding Market History: What I Have Learned from the Past
Born in 1966, the year Yale Hirsch created the Stock Trader’s Almanac, Jeff Hirsch was born, bred, weaned, and raised on market cycles, seasonality, patterns, and trends. The power of the 4-Year Presidential Election Cycle and the Best and Worst Six Months of the year are undeniable. Jeff will relate what he has learned from market history, his late father, and his 33 years in the business.
In this meeting you will learn:
- All about the 4-Year Presidential Election Cycle and how it continues to impact the market to this day.
- How to implement the best months switching strategies using ETFs and stocks – beyond “Sell in May”
- About the January Indicator Trifecta (Santa Claus Rally + First Five Days + January Barometer), seasonal and historical trend trading and investing strategies, including seasonal sector rotation, holiday trading patterns, as well as quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and intraday techniques and tactics.
Second Presentation Description
Applied Market Wisdom
The market has been tracking the historical 4-Year Cycle closely for the past three years. Understanding this impactful recurring pattern—and recognizing when it’s in play, enabled Jeff to anticipate the 2022 midterm year bear, and call the October 2022 bottom. The stock market is likely to benefit greatly from the power of a sitting president running for reelection in 2024. Jeff delves into the nitty-gritty details of the current 4-year cycle and his outlook for the rest of 2023 and 2024. Halloween Indicator, Sell in May, call it what you will, it works. Jeff calls it the Best Six Months. First discovered and published by Yale Hirsch, founder and creator of the Stock Trader’s Almanac, in 1986 in the 1987 Stock Trader’s Almanac. Join Jeff to learn how to implement this seasonal bonanza with undervalued, off-the-radar stock picks, sector ETFs and his tactical MACD market switching strategies.
In this meeting you will learn:
1. Jeff’s current outlook for the rest of 2023 and his outlook for 2024 and get a sneak preview of the 2024 Stock Trader’s Almanac
2. How to capitalize on seasonal market patterns and utilize them in conjunction with fundamental and technical analysis
3. Jeff’ robust stock screening methodology that combines fundamental and technical analysis with market seasonality as well as his top stock and ETF picks.
