January Effect
Definition: The stock market tends to rise between December 31 and the end of the first week in January as investors choose to sell some of their holdings before the end of the year in order to claim losses for tax purposes. Very difficult to profit from since the market expects this to happen around this time frame and adjusts accordingly.
