2024-03-21 07:00:00 ET

Summary

• Spring is historically a good time to be long stocks based on the seasonal pattern of the S&P 500.
• Market sentiment has shifted from recession concerns to worries about higher inflation.
• I present three stocks that offer stability, growth potential, and resilient business models with a fantastic track record and potential to keep outperforming the market.

Introduction

I have to say, I'm in an incredibly good mood while I'm writing this. It doesn't have anything to do with the market, just the fact that it's officially spring in the Northern Hemisphere, which - I think - is the best time of the year.

As it turns out, I'm not the only one who enjoys spring, as the seasonal pattern of the S&P 500 shows that March, April, and May tend to be very good months to be long stocks. That's based on 30 years' worth of data.

With that said, the main message of this article isn't to make the case that now is the best time to buy stocks. I just wanted to start this article by mentioning how glad I am that spring is just around the corner.

It also means we're very close to the start of the MLB (baseball) season, which I like to follow for a wide range of reasons - but more on that in a future article....
