Hey traders,

The calendar edge is still one of the most powerful forces in the market — and we are right in the heart of the strongest 6–8 week window of the year.

  • December has been positive 73% of the time since 1950
  • The “Santa Claus Rally” + early January gains have worked ~79% of the time historically
  • The broader November–April period remains the single best 6-month stretch on record

Rates are still falling (10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.13% and trending lower), and that continues to help rate-sensitive and cyclical areas — even if the overall rally is still top-heavy and mega-cap driven for now.

My Top 5 Pure-Seasonal Plays.
Ticker Company Current Chart  Why It Looks Positive Realistic Target
TSM Taiwan Semiconductor Strong uptrend intact – keeps hitting all-time highs AI demand + Q4/Q1 budget flushes = January is historically its strongest month $330 – $350
AMAT Applied Materials Clean uptrend, consolidating near highs Semi-equipment stocks historically surge into January $260 – $280
PLD Prologis (industrial REIT) Steady grind higher off summer lows, rates helping Falling yields + e-commerce tailwind = classic Dec/Jan REIT move $140 – $150
RCL Royal Caribbean Down ~32% from August peak – oversold, starting to bounce “Wave season” bookings explode Nov–Feb → best consumer sector historically $300 – $320
TXRH Texas Roadhouse Down ~18% from recent highs – digesting beef-cost noise Gift cards + holiday parties = one of the most reliable Dec/Jan winners $200 – $215
  • TSM, AMAT, and PLD are in fairly clean uptrends.
  • RCL and TXRH are not — they are buying-the-dip setups right now.

Food for thought, when the November–January seasonal magic often works best: grabbing proven winners when they’re temporarily out of favor heading into their strongest months of the year.

Simple Game Plan
  • Uptrend names (TSM, AMAT, PLD) → buy strength or small dips
  • Oversold seasonal beasts (RCL, TXRH) → buy the fear, use tight stops under recent lows
  • Target 15–20% total upside into mid-late January / early-mid February either way
