July Stock Market Patterns

According to Stock Traders Almanac:

  1. First half generally stronger.
  2. Market often gets creamed in second half when a bear market is in progress. Time will tell whether we are still in a bear market again.
  3. Market volatility often takes hold after July 4th.
  4. Expiration week has been a mixed bag. 7.7% Dow loss in 2002, 3.6% gain last year.
  5. Week after expiration astrocious. Dow down 7 of 11 years.

So, investors are better off on the sidelines this month.


According to one expert market timer:

  1. Week before July’s options expirations week tends to be negative by the time it ends.
  2. Expiration week tends to be negative, down 6 of the last 9 years. Dow lost a big 4.4% on the July options expirations day alone.
  3. Week after July expirations also tends to be negative, having been down 7 of the last 11 years.

How can you stop this auto transfer of all monies in SA to RA at 55? Yes, you can do it because there is a big loophole created by CPFB policy makers. If you know the loophole and how to “protect” your SA funds (except 40k) from being automatically transferred to RA on your 55 th birthday, you can continue to earn higher interest of 4% on SA balances. Do I need to explain why having a higher balance in SA is better than a higher balance in OA after 55? One obvious benefit is you are “guaranteed” of a higher cash inflow from the 4% pa interest on SA which you can either withdraw every year or leave it in SA to compound and snowball into a bigger retirement fund. So what is the loophole and how can you “protect” or stop CPFB from transferring all your SA monies into RA? Click here to learn ho...
