At this rate, it's starting to look like the calendar may be your best tool to time the markets.
That's right, a simple paper calendar…
January kicked off 2020 with a bang as the S&P 500 jumped more than 4% to follow up a December rally of more than 2%.
The steady rally lured investors and traders into a trancelike state where all they appeared to be seeing was green.
That's a dangerous state that often marks a good time to be selling stocks.
So far, this earnings season has helped to maintain that bullish outlook, but as I said, I think you only need the calendar to beat the market here.
