October to December Stock Patterns: 3 Seasonal Winners
Date: 2025-10-01 17:17:22
October is here—and history says it’s one of the strongest months for stocks. In fact, 9 of the last 10 years have delivered higher highs and higher lows heading into the holiday season.
In this episode, Tom Gentile highlights why October through December is often called the seasonal bull run—and reveals three stocks with powerful track records:
– Nvidia (NVDA): Averaging 20% gains into the holidays, targeting $200+
– Apple (AAPL): Strong seasonal trend with double-digit upside
– Bank of America (BAC): Financial stock with 15% seasonal return potential
You’ll also learn how to decide between stocks, calls, or spreads based on risk, cost, and implied volatility—plus which setups make the most sense for each stock.
If you want to capture the seasonal edge, this is one of the most reliable patterns to finish the year strong.
