Seasonal Investing

Obviously different seasons bring different materials. A season for snow plows. A season for lawn mowers. A season for harvesting. A season for planting. And a season for sharing. Guess what season we are in? Now it's common sense that certain investing seasons overlap but the correct answer to that would be a season of sharing. Surprised I didn't also say a season for snow plows? Here in Chicago, we have received one of the biggest snow droughts in recent history, largely to do with global warming. So how do you invest in the seasons? Well you for this instance you can short snow plowing companies since their service does not seem to be needed so far this year. There's other ideas as well. Alleyway Investing has been buying into the fact that retailers will have a better holiday season than they did last year, partially because of the weather. Doing our research and picking out the certain retail stocks that might succeed, we've banked on the retail market before, and the more the economy recovers the more people will shop. Now, if the economy stalls, or this whole fiscal cliff issue does not get resolved then we might have a problem.
         There is other seasons to invest in too. For instance we thought John Deer was a good buy a couple years a go in the summer because of new equipment coming out. Plus natural disasters; you can bank on the recovery of natural disasters because people need to start from scratch and the more people effected the more they have to buy. People have you asked can you invest on certain demographics? The answer isn't that clear. Demographics you can bank on sure, but the time taking to research each demographic, then certain trends, then certain companies and so forth is too time consuming, we've found shortcuts though. We'll explain that in another article.
        To sum everything up investing on the season's can be a good way and a safe way to captialize on your investments. Although researching them can be timely, and exactly how you research seasons is something we will go over in our weekly news letter.
