Last month’s issue was titled “Volatility: The Calm Before the Storm?“. It explained that volatility mostly increased seasonally in the period from mid-July. It also stated that the “purchase of volatility products” is possibly appropriate.
Seasonality therefore signaled an increase in volatility.
This is exactly what has happened now.
Volatility has risen sharply!
Take a look at the VIX volatility index:

Since the publication of the last issue on July 10, the VIX index has risen from 12.85, right up to 63.67, as I write this line today on Monday 5 August.
That is an increase of 395% in just under four weeks!
While most other investors had to bleed, I know from readers of Seasonal Insights that they were placing money on rising volatility.
You can see how much seasonality can pay off!
Benefit from the seasonality of rising and falling stock markets!
While many investors simply buy shares and then have to suffer painful declines, you know better: it is possible to achieve high profits even in difficult markets, thanks to seasonality!
Use seasonality; use Seasonax!
