Synopsis

Jeffrey Hirsch discusses how to capture market-beating returns by following specific stock market cycles
While predicting the direction of the stock market at any given point is difficult, it's a fact that the market exhibits well-defined and sometimes predictable patterns. While cycles do not repeat exactly all of the time, statistical evidence suggests that cyclical tendencies are very strong and should not be ignored by investors. The Little Book of Stock Market Cycles will show you how to profit from these recurring stock market patterns and cycles.

Written by Jeffrey Hirsch, President of the Hirsch Organization and Editor-in-Chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac, this reliable resource explains why these cycles occur, provides the historical evidence behind them, and shows you how to capture consistent profits from them moving forward. In addition to describing his most widely followed cycles and patters, Hirsch also discusses both longer term boom-bust economic cycles and shorter term tendencies involving the best days, weeks, and months of the year to trade the market.

The methods found here follow everything from presidential election cycles to the "Santa Claus" effect
Written by Jeffrey Hirsch, the pre-eminent authority on market cycles and seasonal patterns
The strategies explored are easy-to-implement, and based on research that has proven profitable over the course of time
For investors looking to beat the buy-and-hold philosophy, The Little Book of Stock Market Cycles will provide simple, actionable ideas that have stood the test of time and consistently outperformed the market.

Goodreads review by George on July 02, 2020

Really it's just a banter about how the United States has the best economy in the world and how certain events cause certain ups and downs in the stock market. Unfortunately, it's not backed up by any regression models or any other measure that might show the actual and potential impact of certain e......more

Goodreads review by Chris on March 05, 2022

My opinion- not worth the entire read. The main concepts that show any real help navigating markets from this book were long term sideway markets and average returns on certain dates around political party dynamics (i.e., Republican Senate/Democrat President). This led to some consideration around s......more

Goodreads review by Scott on July 10, 2022

Solid. Only rated 4 stars due to it being decade-old data. Jeffrey Hirsch is the son of Yale Hirsch, the originator of the Stock Trader's Almanac. This book was exactly what I was looking for in an INTRODUCTORY approach to learning historical data & trends. Hirsch emphasizes that some trends stay, s......more

Goodreads review by Phil on September 05, 2020

Excellent work, but much less timely due to being written in 2012. Still, it contained much information that I will be actively using when planing out investments. The chapter on the four year political cycle and how it relates to stock market movements was particularly helpful as of this election y......more
