Coca-Cola: Will the 'fizzy lifting drink' lift? [Video]

A really helpful tool that Seasonax has is the screener feature. By using it you can choose a market to screen for individual star performers. Take the Dow, for example, we can find that Coca-Cola has some good seasonals around this time of year.

Coca-Cola is known as a stock to hold in a recession. Why? It is because most people can still afford to buy soft drinks in a recession even as they cut back on maybe higher priced items. So, after the Fed took a more hawkish stance with higher interest rates expected, albeit at smaller increments, is this the time to look for the recession-busting stock? Are Coke’s strong seasonals just the tonic needed with 16 gains in 20 years?

Major trade risks: The major trade risk here is that previous seasonal patterns are not guaranteed to repeat each year.
