Long-Term Buy & Hold Options

[dementyia 10]

I'm the first to admit that I know nearly noting about the stock market, so please bear with me.

 

For buy & hold (like a month to 3 months), do companies stock prices increase during their biggest revenue times?

 

I've always been under the impression that airline stocks increase in value during the summer months (vacation time), and toy companies increase their stock value during the gifting season, due to higher-volume sales.

 

This would be common sense to me, but I haven't had the time or money to really be interested in tracking it until now.

 

Do sales of a company's service or product increase it's market value significantly?

 

I'd like to know your experience with this; if my assumption is true or just hogwash, and what might be a better, somewhat reliable option for long-term trades if my idea is not one that applies to the market.

Good question. I'm going to suggest you find a few beginner websites or books for investors and start there. Your question is more fundamental based, but most here are day traders that use technicals. Two very different ways to make money.

 

One note - the market on a long-term basis sometimes reacts how you would think and other times will do the exact opposite and you might get caught off guard. If it was as easy as buying airlines in the summer and toy co's in the winter, most everyone would just do that!

I suppose I hadn't really considered that. *blush*

 

Thanks for the tips!
