Hopefully you bought stocks that are up for the year.
Maybe some of these stocks could be tax selling bounce stocks. Tax selling bounce stocks are stocks that are heavily sold during December for investors that want to take their tax loss for this year, which overly depresses the stock price. Traders like to by these stocks because they expect a bounce back in January after the strong selling is over.
