Book Review

Over the last ten years the UK stock market in the winter months has outperformed the market in the summer months by an average 5% annually, according to this useful almanac.

The fifth edition of this work makes an ideal New Year?s present for an amateur or professional investor, providing as its subtitle suggests: “Seasonality analysis and studies of market anomalies to give you an edge in the year ahead.”

Built around the format of a 52 week diary, it contains over 70 articles and a multitude of figures and fascinating trivia with two sections: day to day financial data and market reference.
