teddybear is half baked as usual, here's the truth for you
Based on historical data for the NASDAQ Composite Index over the last 20 years (from September 2005 to September 2025), a clear pattern of monthly performance emerges. The ranking below is based on the average returns for each month, from best to worst.
Keep in mind that while these trends have been consistent, historical performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Best Months (Top 3)
April: This month consistently tops the list for the NASDAQ. April's strong performance is often attributed to the start of a new earnings season and optimism from the previous quarter's results.
July: Summer can be a positive period for the market, and July has historically been a strong performer for the NASDAQ, building on momentum from the second quarter.
November: As the holiday season approaches, consumer spending and investor sentiment often increase, making November a reliably strong month.
Average Months (Middle of the Pack)
December: While often positive, December can be volatile. It is known for a "Santa Claus rally" in the final weeks, but the month as a whole can have mixed results.
January: The "January Effect," a theory of increased stock prices in the first month of the year, has historically held true for the NASDAQ, though it can be inconsistent.
March: This month's performance can be influenced by the end of the first quarter and anticipation of a new earnings season.
May: The classic "sell in May and go away" adage doesn't always apply to the NASDAQ, which has historically shown a mix of modest gains and losses in this month.
February: A short month with a mixed record, often showing small gains or losses depending on the economic climate.
June: This is a typically slow month for the market, and the NASDAQ's performance reflects that, often showing modest gains.
October: While historically known for some major market crashes, like in 1987, October has also been a period of strong recovery, making its average return a mixed bag.
Worst Months (Bottom 2)
August: This is a notoriously difficult month for the market due to low trading volume as many investors are on vacation. It often sees modest declines.
September: Historically, September has been the single worst month for the stock market, including the NASDAQ. It is the only month to have a negative average return, with a tendency for volatility and sell-offs.
Based on the available historical data for Lightwave Logic (LWLG) for the month of August 2025, the stock experienced a positive percentage change in its price per share (PPS).
Here are the key data points:
Closing Price on July 31, 2025: Approximately $2.33
Closing Price on August 31, 2025: Approximately $3.36
Using these figures, the percentage change for LWLG's stock price during the month of August 2025 was a gain of 44.21%.
Lightwave Logic's stock performance in August 2025 did not follow the historical pattern of weakness typically seen in the broader NASDAQ market during that month. The significant gain was driven by company-specific positive developments rather than general market trends.
Here's why LWLG's stock was an exception to the rule:
Company-Specific Catalysts
LWLG's strong performance was a direct result of two key announcements made around that time, which outweighed the typical seasonal market weakness.
Q2 2025 Earnings and Corporate Update Call: On July 31, 2025, the company hosted an update call, and its Q2 2025 earnings report was released on August 14, 2025. Positive updates on the company's progress with its electro-optic polymer technology and its customer engagements likely generated significant investor optimism.
Appointment of Dr. Sundar Ramamurthy: On August 20, 2025, LWLG announced the appointment of Dr. Sundar Ramamurthy to its Technical Advisory Board. Dr. Ramamurthy's extensive experience in the semiconductor industry and his expertise in materials science were seen as a major validation of the company's technology and a sign that it is moving closer to commercialization and high-volume manufacturing.
For a small-cap company like LWLG, a single piece of news that confirms its technology is progressing toward market adoption can be a much more powerful driver of stock price than broader market trends. The strong positive news in August provided a clear reason for investors to buy, overriding the typical seasonal softness.
