Investing in Cyclical Stocks
What are cyclical stocks?
The building blocks of stock market are individual stocks so cyclical nature of stock market is inherently generated from cyclical movements of individual stocks. So what is a cyclical stock? In simple words, stocks which follow the economic cycle i.e. grows in price rapidly with expanding economy and falls with the same speed when economy is contracting are called cyclical stocks.
Let's add one more angle to this generic definition as we all aim to extract some more drops of gains out of our investment. We define one more dimension for cyclic behaviour based on demand generated for a particular type of goods or service in a particular month of financial year.
Few examples of above proposition is increased sales figure of auto companies at the time of Diwali, decreased sales figure of cement stocks in rainy months etc. Year on year we witness the same behaviour for few sectors of the economy which should prompt us to act.
Rationale for investing in cyclical stocks
An investor may argue, as he is a long term investor so why should he bother about cyclical stocks. Economy is growing so he should be immune to short term movements. True, but the rationale behind investing in cyclical stocks is extracting some extra benefit out of same investment.
Let's take an example to analyze it better. Say, I am a long term investor and I have an investment in anAuto stock. It's a good company with bright future. I bought this stock at the beginning of the year. As we are now aware that if the economic situation remains positive this company will showcase bright sales figure round Diwali. In anticipation of this enhanced earning, the stock price will start to peak round September because of demand pull. If you are a believer of cyclical philosophy you should sell this stock at this point of time and re-enter the stock round November as all the good news is priced in and profitbooking will depreciate the stock reasonably.
So following this philosophy you are not only holding the stock but also have squeezed some profit out of it.
The Trick to find cyclical stocks
Even if you don't want to research the whole lot of companies to find there cyclical nature with respect to financial year, you can at least analyze the stocks which you are holding in your portfolio. Try to find out what kind of product or services they offer and in which part of the financial year, demand for those products is high/low.
Conclusion
We should focus on financial year cyclical movements as it provides an opportunity to generate profit. Having said that, one should not ignore the implication of short term capital gain tax on such investment decisions.

5 new articles in "Dr. Jungle's Pets and Animal Speak" The Red Mushroom
The Red Mushroom is extremely beautiful and will really spice up your aquarium!.The Red Mushroom or Metallic Red Mushroom A. cardinalis is quite stunning and has a true red color. This is unusual because most reds in the aquarium world are more brown or orange. Because of this these corals are definitely sought after for aquariums. They are also efficient at taking out unwanted nutrients in the water. If you want to make sure they don’t spread too far, make sure to provide a surrounding barrier around their main rock and keep it a minimum of 6 inches from your main rocks… Read More Featured Pet of the Week – The Grey CockatielThe Featured Pet for this week is: The Grey Cockatiel! Have you ever known anyone who owned a cockatiel, or seen one in pet stores? Chances are, you have! The Grey Cockatiel in particular is the most common variety of cockatiel available and is very popular as a pet bird. They are delightful birds and are very personable – not only are they sociable and somewhat easy to care for, but they are also well-known for their train-ability. If you are wanting a pet bird, cockatiels can be a great first choice. Here is a funny story. When I was little, and before I really started to keep pets, I saw an ad in the paper for a cockatiel that came with a cage and all accessories. I got so excited and ran in to see my parents, telling them I just had to have this dog that was advertised! I thought that cockatiels were dogs, not birds! We all had a good laugh and I continued on my search for a pet. Cockatiels are considered wonderful pet birds for many reasons. They are not generally very noisy, which is a big plus because many people stay away from pet birds due to their stereotype of being noisy. They are also hardy birds, relatively small, easy to breed, and can handle changes in their environments relatively well. They also fare well when they must be left alone for long periods of time with little to no interaction. The Grey Cockatiel is the most common and is not a variation or mutation of the wild birds. In the wild, the Grey Cockatiels are the rule and their coloring is usually gray with white along the outside edges of the wings. Other variations are bred in captivity – such as the lutinos, pearls, cinnamons, etc. Cockatiels are considered parrots, which is indicated by their beak shape. However, they do have long tails, which is uncharacteristic for parrots and is more similar to the parakeets. They are not large birds either, only reaching 12 inches in length and weighing only 3 to 4 ounces. Even though cockatiels are hardy birds, they still need an optimum environment to thrive. You will want to make sure they have a large enough cage that they can roam around in, or that they have a regular playpen or area that they are let out to during the day. Keep the playpen and cage areas clean and provide your cockatiel with plenty of fresh water and nutrient-rich food. Their food should consist of such things as nuts, fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Commercially prepared foods made specifically for cockatiels or small parrots generally work well and contain all the necessary vitamins and minerals they need. You may also want to supply them with a cuttle bone to keep their beaks strong and trimmed. Keeping a large dish of water at the bottom of their cage (and cleaning it regularly) encourages them to take baths, which they love! You will also want to trim their wings regularly – so that they don’t accidentally fly away through an open window or door. One of the best attributes of cockatiels is their intelligence and ability to be trained! Cockatiels that have been handled since they were babies are generally very sociable and love attention and are easy to train. Younger ones (between 12-14 weeks) are the easiest to train. The most basic tricks include stepping up on your fingers and switching from hand to hand. After that is established, other neat tricks include whistling, ringing bells, climbing ladders, and spreading their wings on cue.

How to Tell If Your Cat Is SickCats are remarkably robust animals that are often much hardier and healthier than dogs, if vaccinated regularly and cared for properly. But they do get sick and because of the feline temperament they're inclined not to show it. So how do you tell if your cat is sick? All cat owners should know what their cat is like when in tip-top health. The coat is glossy and well-groomed, the appetite is good and the eyes are bright and clear. If not, these are physical signs of illness that most owners will pick up easily – if they look. The occasional sneeze, the odd cough and occasional vomiting to eject a hairball are nothing to worry about, but any departure from the norm requires you to keep a watchful eye on your pet. Loss of appetite could mean that your pet is dining out elsewhere, or it could be the sign of a disease that needs veterinary attention. If your cat uses a litter box, make a habit of checking it. Loose stools could be owing to something unsavory they ate or a sign of something more serious. Infrequent or copious urination is an important sign of a common older cat affliction, kidney disease. Catch it early and your chances are improved. If you suspect your cat is not well, it's a good idea to keep it inside with a litter tray so you can observe its output. Often an ill cat will show few obvious physical signs. Behavioral changes are something to be on the alert for. A sick cat will often withdraw, choosing obscure places to sleep and spending more hours than usual and being inactive. Stressed cats may exhibit a sudden preference for high places, like closet tops or high shelves. Cats are creatures of routine, so unusual activities or behavior that is out of character (such as reticence or aggression) is always worth monitoring closely. When playing with your cat, use the opportunity to do a close inspection on a regular basis. Check that the ears are clean and free of mites. Check the mouth for tooth and gum infection and the eyes for discharge or inflammation. When stroking your cat check for fleas and ticks, as well as any lumps or growths. Outdoor cats (especially toms) are prone to developing nasty abscesses at injury sites if they get into a fight. If you know exactly what your cat is like when it's in peak health, the signs of illness will be that much easier to detect. If you think something is wrong, don't be indecisive. The sooner you get to the vet the better and the higher your chance of something being able to be done about it. It's the least we can do for them… For general cat care, check out our Cat Care page! Natural Cat Breeds
Natural cat breeds came about with hardly any human intervention!Natural breed cats have been around for a long time and through the ages have been popular. They are breeds that have evolved naturally over time due to generations of inbreeding. They are usually associated with particular geographic locations and had little to no assistance with their evolution from humans… Read More A New Species of Monkey Has Been Discovered!![]() Cotton Top Tamarin Have you heard?! Just recently, a group of scientists discovered a new species of monkey in the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. It was discovered when scientists went into an area of forest that is not well known and saw these new monkeys as well as several other endangered species living there. The biologist that is credited with the discovery is Julio Dalponte. He went on a 590 mile expedition into a little-explored area that covered 590 miles between the Roosevelt River and the Guariba River. These apparently are the major and most important rivers in the area of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. The new monkey species discovered is a species of titi monkey with different colored markings displayed on its tail and head, with these new markings never before seen on monkeys from the same group. To learn more about this discovery, check out the World Wildlife Foundation story here: New Monkey Species Discovered in the Amazon More Recent Articles
