These Seasonal Trends Take the Guesswork Out of Buying and SellingVIEW IN BROWSER
In June 1944, as the Allies prepared to invade Normandy, their plans hinged on one man, Group Captain James Stagg. And he was telling General Dwight D. Eisenhower, “Don’t do it!” Turns out, he was right. Everyone knows the Allies stormed the beaches on June 6, 1944. What you may not know is that D-Day was supposed to happen a day earlier – on June 5. And if Eisenhower had ignored Stagg’s warning… and went ahead with the invasion a day earlier… the Allies could have failed. Could one day have made that much difference? Absolutely. Because Stagg’s warning came down to the most fundamental element of planning a seaborne invasion: the weather. You see, Stagg’s path to the Allied Command was different than that of the more conventional officers in the war-room. He was a meteorologist best known for leading an Arctic expedition in 1932. And when the war began, he was the superintendent of Kew Observatory — the United Kingdom’s weather-forecasting headquarters. Now, Eisenhower was asking Stagg for the most crucial observations of his career: conditions in the English Channel ahead of the largest amphibious assault in history. And Stagg’s network of Royal Air Force weathermen had told him that a massive storm was rolling in. Luckily for the U.K., the U.S., Canada, France, and the world, Eisenhower listened to Stagg. The landings took place on June 6, 1944, after the storm had passed. Eleven months later, the Allies were celebrating victory in Europe. Timing is important for us as investors, too. It’s tempting to leave buying and selling decisions to gut feel. But at TradeSmith, we believe — like Stagg did — in following the data. One of those signals is what we call “seasonality” — recurring patterns that repeat year in, year out with remarkable consistency. I’ll show you how it works today… plus how seasonal trades generated 857% total growth in an 18-year backtest.

Fortune magazine named it the “Most Innovative Company in America” six years in a row. It was announcing larger and larger revenue with each passing quarter. And 11 of the 13 analysts covering it called it a “Buy.” But in Louis Navellier’s system, this firm was an obvious “SELL.” That company was Enron. Today… Louis has discovered TEN publicly traded, widely held, and seemingly “too big to fail” Wall Street darlings that could fall dramatically in the weeks ahead. They’ve all received an F rating in his system. Click here for more details… |

Buy on These “Green Days”I didn't come to TradeSmith from Wall Street. I’m a software engineer by training. So, when my team and I went looking for an edge for investors, we didn't start by asking what should move a stock. We started by asking what the data already shows. We built software that scans more than 5,000 stocks — decades of price history — and asks a simple question. Does this stock behave differently at certain times of the year than others? The answer, again and again, was yes. We’ve found historically reliable windows across thousands of stocks – specific times of the year when they tend to rise or fall. We call the bullish windows “green days.” And we built a trading system around them that spots these seasonal patterns with an 83% historical accuracy rate. In other words, they’ve shown up in about eight years out of every 10. That’s not a guarantee they’ll show up again. But it’s a statistical edge you can use to stacks the odds of success in your favor. Seasonality isn’t new:
- Commodity traders have always tracked planting and harvesting cycles.
- Energy markets move with heating and cooling demand.
- Gold has long shown seasonal strength tied to jewelry demand and annual buying patterns in India and China.
- And stock investors track seasonal patterns like the January Effect and the Santa Claus Rally.
What’s new is that we can now measure it precisely – across thousands of stocks, over decades of data, and down to specific days. Target Corp. (TGT), for example, has climbed during the same 29-day window — late June into late July — in 15 straight years, gaining an average of 5.2%: 
Home Depot Inc. (HD) has done the same between mid-June and late July, rising 93.3% of the time over 15 years, with an average gain of 4.7%: 
But rival home improvement store Lowe’s Cos. Inc. (LOW) optimal window comes nearly two months later. LOW has gone up 86.7% of the time from August 10 to September 11 during the past 15 years, with an average return of 6.1%: 
Over an 18-year backtest, these seasonal trades produced 857% in total growth — more than double the S&P 500 over the same stretch. Even in 2007, the worst year in the test, the strategy still came out ahead. You don’t have to just take my word for it.
