Retail stocks are in the spotlight for the holiday season, and I was curious to see which ones have tended to perform the best during the month of December.

This portfolio consists of the best and worse performers of the S&P Retail Index over the past 9 years, if you buy on the open of the first trading day in December and sell on the close of the last trading day of the year.

To adjust somewhat for volatility, results are first sorted by the percentage of time the stock goes up or down and then by the actual return.
