- January effect
- At the end of the year, investors start worrying about taxes. Towards the end of the year, investors may sell some stocks that they've seen a loss on -- not because they don't like them anymore, but because they can take those losses out of their annual bill from Uncle Sam. This selling will knock stocks down a bit toward the end of the year -- particularly small-caps, since they're not as liquid. In January, investors will be in there buying back their lost darlings, often giving stocks a boost.
- January Effect
- The tendency for securities prices to recover in January after tax-related selling is completed before the year-end.
