72% Informative

January Barometer is one of the most well-known stock market indicators, based on the idea that the market’s performance in January sets the tone for the rest of the year .

Dating back to 1950 , when the S&P 500 Index gained in January , it averaged a 12% return for rest of year, with positive returns 87% of the time.

When January was negative, the index averaged just a 2% gain for remainder of year .

In this article, I'll further explore this concept by finding individual stocks that exhibit their own January Barometers .
