>is this going to bring shit like the S&P 500 up or what?
Not likely. Christmas is already priced in, so the holiday would only really affect stock prices if sales dramatically outperformed or underperformed expectations.

Stock market is closed on Christmas, so it has no effect.

>>960937
look at the S&P 500 in years past. christmas makes the market go up

After looking at the s&p500 5yr chart I can say that this anon is wrong >>960953 and that the markets will go up about halfway through December

>>960937
The S&P goes up every month on average except August and September. It goes up by more in December than any other month, but not by that much more than in November

The goyim buy shit they don't need and the markets go up. Christmas is good.

Not exactly. I looked at the graph and it doesn't increase as much as you might think. In fact if we factor in a couple of days of January, the index actually goes down. So I doubt the sustainability of the Christmas hype growth.

Xmas gonna be a dud again this year. People are broke and sales are down for everyone already.

Historically the market goes up around this point, but if your company doesn't hit earnings expectations which already accounts for boosted revenue from this season then it'll decline sharply.

I think macro factors need to be taken account of. The fed and Europe will contribute to further volatility and a lot of the asset managers have predicted this.

I agree, I was more so speculating on the retail sector. S&Ps all about muh rate hike, China data, & Europe right now.

Yah, I have some cash right now in my portfolio so contemplating if I should invest now or wait till the end of the month. If I had the choice, I'd be shorting pretty much all of the indices, especially the Euro Stoxx next week

Personally I like Visa, they earn money so long as the consumer spends it. Doesn't matter where.

Meh, I am a retail investor in ETFs so not really looking at stocks.

I am monitoring a couple of bond products as well as the Euro Stoxx/FTSE ETFs

Why would you include days after Christmas though? Obviously the markets will go down because their aren't as many sales, but the time leading to Christmas it goes up
