Stock Market Outlook - 1/31/2014

The first month of the New Year has come to an end and the market ended the month of January on a negative note. Every time the market goes down in the coming days or weeks, you will hear those talking heads talking about those January effect correlation and reminding everyone how 2014 will likely be a down year, etc, etc. All I can say as a trader is one should be trading the market base on price actions not how the year will end.
