Wealth Building With Options

Ep 17- Seasonality, Cycles & the Calendar Edge with Jeffrey Hirsch Editor-in-Chief of the Stock Trader's Almanac

Listen Later

Dan Passarelli is joined by Jeffrey Hirsch, editor-in-chief of the Stock Trader’s Almanac, to talk seasonality, market cycles, and the powerful edge of timing your trades around historical patterns. From family legacy to tactical trade execution, Jeff breaks down how decades of research—plus some good old-fashioned intuition—can give traders a powerful boost.

  • Why "Buy in October and get your portfolio sober" might be better advice than “Sell in May and go away”
  • The most reliable fundamental metric for selecting value stocks
  • How Jeff’s family legacy shaped the Stock Trader’s Almanac—and how he came to embrace it
  • The surprising consistency of intraday trading patterns in a high-frequency world
  • Using seasonality with options: When to sell puts and calls for maximum edge
  • The power of the “best six months” and how to trade them with covered calls
  • Seasonal volatility trends—especially around August through October
  • Insights into election year cycles and how political shifts affect markets
  • A personal side of Jeff Hirsch: music, Broadway, and producing a musical inspired by The Elephant Man
