The January Effect... ************************ David: The January Effect refers to an upswing in small cap stocks during the month of January... The reason for this is that investors/traders take losses for tax purposes in the Oct/Nov/Dec period... As usual they overdo it, creating oversold bargains among the small caps... Savvy investors/traders scoop up these stocks at these bargain prices creating supply/demand pressures on the price of these stocks... The result is many of these small caps outperform the market during this period... The process is called The January Effect... Jim
