December is often the busiest time of year for stocks as investors begin moving their money in anticipation of a better year ahead.

Analysis by investment platform Bestinvest showed there was a 75% chance share prices of global companies would rise in December, as measured over a 50-year period. 

It looks like Bestinvest push out articles in support of the Santa rally theory at this time of year (unsurprisingly), although that doesn't in itself support an expectation of dips in January:

Santa had better hurry up . S&P 500 is nearly 6% down so far in December.

Is that you you bursting bubbles with pesky inconvenient facts again?
