Three Cycles To Watch in 2014

We hear about stock market cycles all the time.
We can look at short-term stuff like the annual seasonal cycle for U.S. stocks. For example, we are currently in the best three-month period of the year: November – January. We are also towards the beginning of the best six-month period of the year: November – May.
