The Almanac remains the most valuable trader's desk reference on Wall Street and this year's edition is packed with seasonal and historic investing insights for the year ahead including:

  • How our Presidential Elections affect the economy and the stock market—just as the moon affects the tides
  • Post-Election Years Best Year of the 4-Year Cycle Since 1985
