The Bottom Line

Interesting phenomenon!

Historically, the best two consecutive trading days to own the S&P 500 Index has been the day before U.S. Thanksgiving and the day after U.S. Thanksgiving. Probable reason is dominance by retail investment activity at a time when most institutional investors either are on holidays or have given limited trading authority to support staff. Average gain per period since 1950 was 0.6%. The trade was profitable approximately 75% of the time including 80% of the time during the past 20 periods (including a drop last year by 2.05%). Buying by retail investors is triggered partially by anticipation of strong “Black Friday” sales. This year, gains by “Black Friday” sales are expected to be higher than average, but mainly because prices are significantly higher due to inflation.

U.S. equity indices have a history of moving higher until the end of November.

  1. Larry/ON Says:

    Quite the scare this morning on WTI shaking a lot of investors out of their shares. WTI has recovered most of its’ drop. I will laugh if it finishes higher on the WSJ report of OPEC discussion of output increases. Nat gas producers were dragged down large amounts while nat gas is up now about 8% today. AECO gas prices are high. Investors are behaving like scared bunny rabbits on the latest media report.

  2. Bman/Van Says:

    Agree Larry.

    WTI volatility is very high despite tight petroleum (and products) inventories world wide. Also surprising since inventories are likely to get even tighter once the SPR finishes its run. OPEC decision to add seems to be a replacement for the SPR (and maybe inventory is tighter than most are admitting). Begs the question are we on the cusp of a new level in this energy crisis, a level that traders will not be able to ignore and base on fundamentals? Sector continues to be good relative value if oil hold around $85 and dirty cheap if we run to $100. Hard so say where we all land as just over the hill is a recession which could go out for a year or two. Continue to hold energy until something better comes along or we look to fall into the precipice of recession.

  3. Larry/ON Says:

    We Have Seen This Market Moving Rumour Baloney Before

    Nov 21 (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia on Monday said that OPEC+ was sticking with oil output cuts and could take further measures to balance the market amid falling prices, denying a report it was considering boosting output, according to state news agency SPA.

    The Wall Street Journal earlier on Monday reported an output increase of 500,000 barrels per day was under discussion for the next meeting of OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, on Dec. 4. The report cited unidentified OPEC delegates.

  4. Dave/AB Says:

    Can’t help but love days like today to trade. Now to see what happens tomorrow with Oil
