Exploiting the famous January effect on Wall Street isn't as easy as it looks.
I'm referring to the well-known tendency for stocks of the smallest companies—so-called small caps—to significantly outperform large-cap stocks during January. Since 1926, according to data compiled by University of Chicago professor Eugene Fama and Dartmouth professor Kenneth French, small caps in January have beaten large caps by an annualized average of nearly 30% per year.
No other month is anywhere near as good for small-cap stocks as January. On average across all other months, the small-cap advantage is four percent on an annualized basis.
Yet not all small-cap stocks participate in this seasonal surge. Recent research shows that the small cap stocks that historically have performed the best during January are of companies with the lowest financial quality. These so-called "junk" stocks are very volatile, are from firms that are losing money, pay no dividend, and often are loaded with debt.
