The theory of stock rising on Jewish New Year Holiday and many others:

•        Bulls makes money, bears makes money, pigs get slaughtered.
•        Bull markets have no resistances - Bear markets have no supports.
•        Do not buck the trend, your trade won't be the one that turns the market around.  
•        Never buy a stock that won't go up in a bull market. Never sell a stock that won't go down in a bear market.
•        As a bull markets begins to peak, sell the stock that has gone up the most - it will drop the fastest. Sell the stock that has gone up the least - it did not go up, so it most go down.  
•        Buy the rumor, sell the fact.
•        Never hold on to a loser just to collect the dividends.
•        No tree grows to the sky.
•        Take windfall profits when you have them.
•        Sell in May and go away.  
•        Wall Street is motivated primarily by emotions - fear and greed...
•        Wall Street is a street with a river at one end and a graveyard at the other.
•        If investments are keeping you awake at night - sell down to the sleeping point.
•        Avoid the roller coaster of worry by not checking your stock price every dag. How often do you check the value of your home?
•        Never check stock prices on a Friday, it could spoil your weekend.
•        Portfolio diversification makes up for investor ignorance.  
•        Over the long term, low price/earnings ratio stocks will outperform high P/E Stocks.
•        Low inflation and low interest rates usually results in a strong stock market.  
•        Stocks always seems to rise on the day before a holiday, any holiday.
•        January tends to set the tone for the rest of the market year.
•        A rising tide raises all the ships.
•        Time is the friend of stocks, the enemy of bonds.
•        Never sell on strike news
•        Sell Rosh Hashana and buy Yom Kippur

Stock market will eventually rise in the long run. Bonds will maturize.

•        Sell Rosh Hashana and buy Yom Kippur
Stock market tends to close lower at the end of Rosh Hashana-through-Yom Kippur span compared to the beginning.
