# Investors use some simple investment vehicles to gain exposure to US equity market (ETF, fund, CFD or future) only during days 
# preceding holiday days (New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
# Labor Day, Election Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day). Investors stay in cash during other trading days. The anomaly isn’t
# limited only to the US market but seems to work well also in other countries; therefore, it could be broadened to include 
# pre-holiday days for local holidays in other markets
