It's never too early or too late to start investing, but believe it or not there is a certain span of months throughout the year when getting started is ideal. When is that, you may ask? The answer is any time between November and April; according to U.S News and World Report Money. Even if you are actively investing and have an account such as a 401(k), now is a good time to start looking at where your money is currently allocated, as you may want to make some changes. Here's why:

Just like businesses, sports teams, even students in school, have their ups and downs, so does the stock market, and research has shown that the U.S stock market has "consistently produced outsized returns" from November to April when compared to May to October. Knowing this, it seems only obvious that now is the right time to start looking into your investment options. While you may not have imagined the stocks to be something seasonal, the truth is that they are! This is in part due to the fact that as the year comes to a close, some people find themselves with extra money that they've saved or year-end bonuses that they can comfortably pass on to the stock market. Additionally, it may have something to do with the fact that tax season occurs during this window, which may encourage more people to be funding accounts that could directly effect the stock market.

The moral of the story is that if you haven't invested yet this year, now is the time to start thinking about doing so! To read more about why this six month period is a game changer for investors, check out this article from U.S News and World Report.
