According to Wharton economist Jeremy Siegel, the coming year could shape up pretty well if we can just navigate through the usual January volatility. Once markets clear those early-year bumps—you know, the typical seasonal corrections and rebalancing noise—things are looking genuinely bullish for 2026. The broader sentiment seems to hinge on whether investors can stay calm through those January swings without panic selling. Siegel's take suggests that if we make it past that turbulent period, the rest of the year could deliver real upside potential.

Once we get through the turbulence of January, it will be fine. I've heard this saying too many times.

It's the same old story... Just get through January? Wake up.

It's the same old story—just endure one month, and you'll take off? I've heard it too many times.

Haha, it's that same line again, "As long as you get through January," this time Siegel is the one talking. --- Why are you trying to fool the retail investors who hold steady again? Let's see if they can survive January first. --- 2026 looks promising, but we need to make it through January to see it. --- I hear Siegel's theory every year; every year someone crashes in January. --- So the core is to gamble that January won't let you down, rest is history. --- Relying on willpower to get through January's volatility? Easy to say, I'm really scared.

1. January is really a hurdle we have to cross every year, but I feel that this year's liquidation risk threshold is particularly close... 2. Damn, it's the same excuse of "getting through January to fly," and 2024 is no different... 3. Leverage positions are most likely to explode when rebounding at the beginning of the year. Siegel's analysis didn't account for risk control mechanisms. 4. Seasonal fluctuations are a smokescreen; the real issue is whether borrowing positions can withstand this wave of adjustment. 5. It sounds great, but when the collateral ratio falls below the safety line, it's a liquidation wave. Be careful. 6. So the core is to avoid crashing the market in January; a break can trigger a chain reaction. I've seen this happen too many times.
