Stock investors can expect several seasonally bullish patterns over the next six weeks or so. This starts now, with the market tending to rally after Thanksgiving for a week or two. Even in the worst December market ever (2018), the post-Thanksgiving trade was profitable over the two weeks after Thanksgiving.
In many years, the Russell 2000 index
RUT outperforms the S&P 500 index SPX, but SPX has the upper hand now, so we are not going to use iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM options for the post-Thanksgiving trade. We may roll into them later.
