Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) Seasonality
Analysis has revealed that with a buy date of August 5 and a sell date of June 4, investors have benefited from a total return of 870.86% over the last 10 years. This scenario has shown positive results in 7 of those periods.
Conversely, the best return over the maximum number of positive periods reveals a buy date of February 1 and a sell date of April 29, producing a total return over the same 10-year range of 482.19% with positive results in 9 of those periods.

Comments:
This stock at current levels would represent a speculative "buy" play. The stock has shown a minor period of seasonal strength around this time-frame, however, it is past the seasonality of the sector, technology, in which it operates. The company did record a negative EPS for the most recent reported quarter as a result of tax losses due to accounting changes, which would be considered extraordinary. The company, however, assures that impacts as a result of these items will be wrapped up by fiscal year end and should not affect the company going forward. With the company beaten down to this level and considering most investors would not take into account this one time loss that prevented its most recent profitability, this may be an opportune time to take a dip.

CME Group Inc. (CME) Seasonality
Analysis has revealed that with a buy date of January 20 and a sell date of December 16, investors have benefited from a total return of 1078.4% over the last 7 years. This scenario has shown positive results in 6 of those periods.
Conversely, the best return over the maximum number of positive periods reveals a buy date of August 30 and a sell date of October 14, producing a total return over the same 7-year range of 170.95% with positive results in 7 of those periods.

Comments:
Another stock beaten down as a result of the recent decline. This stock has an average P/E of around 36 and a forward P/E of around 18. The valuation at current levels just does not make sense, and a bottom may be apparent at these prices. Plus is has a dividend yield of 1.64%, enough to at least cover the commission for a free ride if you should choose to partake.

Comments:
Taking a look at the seasonality for this deflated stock and you’ll notice that the play with the greatest number of positive periods didn’t work this past year. Don Vialoux of TimingTheMarket.ca has been suggesting that now is the time to invest in Materials, and with the seasonality of this discounted stock still in play, you might be in for a decent upside return.
