Where are all the stats guys with % gains and losses on this day? Personally I think its a bunch of hoodoo voodoo. But I am curious. Harrytrader = come out, come out wherever you are
Not to do with Friday the 13th, but the Trader's Almanc says, "Either go short, or stay away the day before Presidents' Day" (bottom of page 20)
Friday the 13th is only bad if a black cat crossed your path on your way to work. Harry will certainly back this up with scratching together some authorative scientific looking evidence. nononsense
Maybe this will help for day AFTER Presidents' Day... Notation in Almanac for Tuesday says ... "First trading day of Expiration Week Dow up 10 straight. Day after Presidents' Day Dow up 7 of last 10". As always, FWIW ....
