Do You Believe in January Effect or Not?

After sweet November and December, US stock market started off poorly in the first trading week of 2024, causing unease among investors.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ and major tech stocks have been falling for 5 consecutive trading days.

We may see the pullback continues as today's employment report came in stronger than expected.

Some hope for a turnaround in the market, as they believe that the performance in the first month of the year sets the tone for the rest of the year's market conditions.

Fidelity analyst, however, states that after bad January, the stock market has a long term propensity to rise.

Do you believe in January Effect?

Will market turn around in January?

    perhaps January effect may continue, then again, perhaps not... [Thinking] [Thinking] [Thinking]

    Looking at the graph, the january effect dont look too consistent. 2024 seems the same as the previous 2 years, market moves based on fed decisions. Im waiting for further dips then add again

    Market in for more downtrend if people keep taking (payout) with no return motivation, almost feels like most of us are waiting for feb (Bull) as Jan (Bear) trend is going to flux to compenate?  (My view) Santa Rally would have lead a heavy hit in AI and Tech to have it perfrom as it is... glad i missed it.

    Cheers @icycrystal

    PCT: January Effects Or Not V1.0 .
    PCT = Pandas Coffee Talk.
    What goes up in Christmas Rally. Tendency people profits-taking in January Effects. But this time in Jan2024. It becomes a opportunities. Why? CNN Fear Index shows extreme greeds. The market stock breath have turned from 7Stocks of Magnificant7 into 3000Stocks. Fed in 2024 even she dont lower rates but she confirm will hold rates. All this points to a Jan2024 tiny firesales due to Japan Earthquake to a min small bullruns in 2024.

    作为一个长期投资者,我dont相信一月效应。我主要关心的是年底我能从我的SG柜台获得多少股息。当我觉得时机成熟时,我会DCA我目前的计数器。


    12月,我刚刚DCA了我的一个房地产投资信托基金柜台。我最后一次活跃在我的SG柜台是在2020年8月。然后在2021年11月,我在美国老虎柜台碰碰运气。星期五,我只是DCA$美国银行(BAC)$因为我在老虎队有些钱。我对老虎的控制只是我诗歌中的一小部分。


    今年我又开始活跃在SG柜台,因为我为自己设定了一个目标。[咧嘴笑]。希望我的梦想成真。祝福🙏🙏🙏。我正在积累我的被动收入。

    走了这么高,是时候休息一下了。可能会横着走一段时间。稍后可能会有回调,但不用担心。是时候买了

    the end of year euphoria in 2023 seems unwarranted in the face of unresolved global issues such as conflicts in Ukraine and Middle East, and longstanding US-China tensions. While hopeful for a strong market this year, it is still prudent to keep some assets in safe harbours.

    Look at the sentence in the picture: Past performance is NOT a reliable indicator of future returns. [Thinking] [Surprised] .....

    I have this feeling that Jan will be a drop and then early Feb will accelerate the drop. Whereas more indicators and data will be released in early Feb, that could signal recession.

    Pull back may be good for now so that the market can digest a little before moving up again.
    Meanwhile relax, get ready and make preparation for the Chinese New Year!
    May the market be with you! @JC888, @koolgal  @icycrystal

    There is a likelihood ofJanuary Effect while not 100%. It is possible that the market will turn around in January. My portfolio has been down slightly in the first week trading while gaining positive returns over the past two months.

    相信。


    隨着今天的就業報告強於預期,我們可能會看到回調繼續。


    有些人希望有轉機在市場上,因爲他們認爲今年第一個月的表現爲今年剩餘時間的市場狀況定下了基調。

    然而,富達分析師表示,在糟糕的1月份之後,股市有長期上漲的趨勢。
