RALLY: A rally is a period of sustained increases in the prices of stocks, bonds or indices … An increase in prices during a primary trend bear market is called a bear market rally. A bear market rally is sometimes defined as an increase of 10% to 20%.
Now, a Santa Claus Rally describes a sustained increase in the stock market that occurs in the last week of December through the first two trading days in January. There are numerous explanations for the causes of a Santa Claus rally including tax considerations, a general feeling of optimism and happiness on Wall Street, and the investing of holiday bonuses.

Another theory is that some very large institutional investors, a number of which are more sophisticated and pessimistic, tend to go on vacation at this time, leaving the market to retail investors, who tend to be more bullish.
YOUR COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED.

Stocks set new records on Wednesday, as both the Dow (INDU) and the S&P 500 (SPX) finished at all-time highs.
Although the S&P hit a record as recently as Monday, the Dow hasn’t reached a new high since early November. The Dow finished up 91 points, or 0.3%, while the S&P closed 0.1% higher. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP) finished down 0.1%.
