Tax Sellin begins in the 3rd quarter, September and obviously concludes Dec 31.
Interesting study that I did. You might see some of it.
when a stock gets violently sold off with at leas 2 1/2 x's or more volume, it is usually for tax selling. You know that investors must stay out of a stock for at least 30 days. So, by the time Jan. comes they are looking to get back in.
My study showed that on high quality stocks that exhibited the volume sell off with new or close to new lows all had above average gains if they were purchased prior to Jan 31st.
Look at this chart of KM. Circle the volume bar at the end of Dec 2000, notice the price and the volume. Then see where it went. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=km&d=c&k=c4
The companies must have the muscle behind them. Do not buy companies that have been downgraded becasue they look like Chap 11.
As far as what is coming up. This is why we stay in. If you miss a sizable rally, it really hurts. It all depends on the institutions.
