WHO WE ARE
This web site is a natural outgrowth of the Stock Trader's Almanac book.
Created by Yale Hirsch in 1967, the Stock Trader'sAlmanac has delivered money-making insights and strategies to investors for more than six decades.
The Almanac originated such important market phenomena as the "January Barometer" and the "Santa Claus Rally" and was instrumental in popularizing other tradable strategies, such as "The Best Six Months Strategy" (commonly known as "Sell in May and Go Away") and the four-year Presidential Election Cycle.
To provide more timely advice and historical data and research tools, we created The Almanac Investor digital subscription service and stocktradersalmanac.com. With alerts delivered twice a week, we show investors how to implement in real-time the strategies that have made The Stock Trader's Almanac a must-have for active investors for nearly 50 years.
Mr. Hirsch imparted his knowledge of the stock market to his son, Jeffrey Hirsch. Jeff joined the organization as a market analyst and historian under the mentorship of his father in 1990 and became editor-in-chief some years later. He carried on his father's tradition of constantly improving the Stock Trader's Almanac and has been tireless in his efforts to explain how investors can use the Stock Trader's Almanac to beat the market
Backed by nearly 50 years of research, it's fair to say that today's Stock Trader's Almanac is better than ever. We have become the number one information source on stock market history, cycles, and seasonal tendencies.
