Here's a pointer to an academic article on the January Effect. Message 16746469 I certainly think it is a tax effect, and I think most on this thread would agree. That seemed glaringly obvious last year when there were so many prime candidates for tax selling. Particularly when I was late selling some of my own dogs, and felt I was in a game of chicken with the market makers, hoping that the effect would kick in a little before January and bounce my stocks up, while the market seemed able to grind them lower every day. While a known "effect" does tend to happen earlier as more players learn about it, the year-end tax nature of the January effect would seem to prevent it from getting as early as now, I would think. Shall we use this thread for January 2002 stock picks, or start a new one? Doc
