Summer in America brings long days with beach vacations, barbecues, and travel for many families. Americans often spend more on discretionary items during these three months. As a result, it’s a good time to add stocks of companies that benefit from the summer months to your portfolio. For instance, airlines and hotels are often busier from June to August because families take long vacations. Summer is also a time for outdoor hobbies, gardening, sitting by the pool, and home renovations.
