The Halloween strategy, Halloween effect, or Halloween indicator, is a market-timing strategy based on the theory that stocks perform better between Oct. 31 (Halloween) and May 1 than they do between the beginning of May through the end of October.

Some who subscribe to this tactic say not to invest at all during the summer months.
