Date updated:12-21-2006
The last week of the year has strong bullish tendencies as there is little news out to effect stocks and mutual funds who are busy window dressing up their portfolio.
BUY: The close the day before the last week of the year begins
SELL: at the close on the last trading day of the year
Results: See to the left. We show the indices and some stocks that are both good and bad, historically, during the last week of the year.
