Title: Best to worst stock month for 2012?
Post by: wordplanet on February 03, 2013, 03:57

Just curious how your year went in terms of best to worst month for stock?

For 2012, my stock photo earnings by month from best to worst were as follows:

June
September
April/December (tied - almost literally - within a few cents of each other)
January
August
February
November/July/May (<$8 variance among them)
October
March

2012 wasn't typical because I was in the process of returning from exclusivity (IS) to independence

Based on daily revenue, 2006-2012:

August
September & October (virtual tie)
November
February
March
July
December
April
January
May & June (virtual tie)

The variation between worst & best is 26%

Interesting - November and October seem most likely to be decent months for more people but otherwise it varies so widely. Thanks for adding the poll.

Nov-12   
Oct-12   -50.86%
Dec-12   -52.91%
Sep-12   -61.41%
Jul-12   -68.40%
Aug-12   -69.52%
Jun-12   -82.99%
May-12   -87.78%
Apr-12   -97.05%


November was good overall due to a payout from Alamy. Otherwise October would be my best month in 2012. Percentages are compared to November payout. And you can see I had my first full month in April. LOL
