There are a few catalysts which can make January a particularly good month for microcaps.
1. Tax-loss selling in December may take certain stocks which didn’t perform well in 2020 to very low valuations resulting in a sharp rebound in January
2. January is often a time of heavy news flow as many partnerships begin in January and are announced on the first day of the year
3. Sentiment – investors often have a very optimistic attitude in a new year and are willing to take extra risk – bidding up stocks
* Note, sentiment may be less in play this year due to the extraordinary 2020 in stocks. Also bear in mind the GA senate race may add added extreme volatility in January and wipe away any of the above positive effects if divided government does not last.
We’ll get together on Wednesday Night December 30th at 9pm EST to review “Trade of the Month” stocks to give our community a chance to buy certain stocks on Thursday before markets open for the new year on January 4th possibly to many gap-up plays on news releases.
