End-of-Quarter Window Dressing Effects on The Market

Window dressing occurs when companies and fund managers manipulate their accounts and make cosmetic changes to improve the appearance of their financial reports and portfolios. 💡(This term comes from stores creating attractive window displays)!

⁠Our trader, Raghee Horner, says, "The end-of-quarter “window dressing” effect will be bearish to underperformers in Q1 and bullish to outperformers in Q1. These are⁠ not setups but rather expectations for follow-through. The end of the quarter is not a time to top-pick strong trends.”
