A gain of 495.78 percent annualized!Over the past 10 years Novo Nordisk rose in every single year in this phase. In other words, the pattern had a hit rate of 100 percent. The average gain achieved in these mere eight trading days amounted to 5.01 percent. This corresponds to an extremely strong annualized gain of 495.78 percent! The following bar chart shows the pattern return for the time period February 11 to February 22 in every single year since 2010. As this chart confirms, in the past ten years prices indeed rose over these eight trading days in every single year. The largest gain achieved in 2015 amounted to 11.46 percent! In my opinion such large seasonal gains in such a short time period represent a phenomenal opportunity. The appeal of investing in particularly strong seasonal phases and thus significantly increasing the chance of generating extraordinary returns should be obvious. |
