Ever wondered if holiday shopping could impact your investment strategy? In this episode, we dive into the "holiday effect" on Amazon’s stock performance around big shopping events like Black Friday and Prime Day. Using insights from the QuantConnect research team, we analyze Amazon’s pre-holiday stock trends and test three unique strategies that leverage this seasonal pattern. From holding Amazon shares during key periods to a balanced approach with options and S&P 500, we break down each strategy’s performance over the years. Can this seasonal surge give investors an edge? And could similar patterns apply to other retail stocks or seasonal sales events? Join us as we explore this fascinating angle on investing and reveal tips for spotting potential stock patterns around high-spending holidays.
