Summer stock list

If you have to play the seasonality game, you have to think much ahead of the cycle. I have many alarms set for various seasonal strategies. One of the alarms went off today for the summer stocks. Stocks of companies that have bulk of their sales in summer season.

The market is anticipatory mechanism and many times stocks breakout much ahead of the season in anticipation. The retail sector is one sector where this happens regularly. So you have to think 4-6 months in advance to profit from these seasonal tendencies.

So if you are looking for summer stocks focus on leisure, entertainment, travel, teenage clothing, beer and beverages, lawn care and few other sectors. Like January effect there is a summer effect for some stocks and sectors.

Volcom, Inc. VLCM is one of those sun and sand kind of play, which is finding some buying interest today.
