The Harriman Stock Market Almanac is an annual publication which is a must-read for all fans of stock market investing – it combines a mixture of some trivial but amusing anecdotes and facts about the stock market with some more interesting analysis of trends that recur each year and other kinds of anomalies: things that, theoretically at least, you can make some money out of if you are aware of them.

In this podcast, Jonathan Davis speaks with Almanac editor and investor Stephen Eckett about several of these anomalies – and what investors can do to take advantage of them.
