COMTELL® Subscribers Can Now Access Seasonal Factors

Do you even wonder if certain items have a strong tendency to perform better during certain times of the year; or if they are moving in a typical trend line for the current year? Urner Barry's COMTELL® users can now find all the answers to their questions by accessing the seasonal factor section just added to our on-line service.

In addition to finding out monthly seasonal factors, you can get the definition of a seasonal factor, how it is calculated, and some advantages of using the data in your research. To access seasonal factors, simply select an item in the History portion of COMTELL® and use the easy-to-read chart. For a better understanding, click the link for either the 3-year Seasonal Factor (SF 3Yr) or 5-year Seasonal Factor (SF 5Yr).
