FYI: More than any investor alive today, Jeffrey Hirsch was born, bred, weaned and raised on stock-market cycles, patterns, seasonality data, charts and trends.
His mother was pregnant with him when his father, Yale Hirsch, published the first Stock Trader’s Almanac in 1967, and he was born into a family business of tracking the market in ways that most experts don’t. The Hirsches’ research led to generally accepted phenomenon like the Santa Claus rally and the January barometer, and to aphorisms like “Sell in May and go away,” a nutshell for research labeled the “Best Six Months” strategy.
As much as anything, however, the Hirsch Organization and Stock Trader’s Almanac became known for its Presidential Election Cycle Theory, which suggests stocks tend to move in certain ways during each year of a president’s four-year term.
