RDAR - "Sell in May and Go Away"


https://caldaro.wordpress.com/


This adage may be a good candidate
for a self-fulfilling prophecy

or a cliché explanation for why stocks
seem to underperform during certain months.

"Sell in May and go away"
is a reference to the six months from May to October,
when returns historically lag the November-April period.

According to Sam Stovall,
chief investment strategist at CFRA,
the S&P 500 has only gained 1.6% from May to October

versus an average of 6.7%
from November to April since April 1945.
