Sell in May? Think Again!

from The Daily News Now! Business

Sell in May and go away strategy, once popular for avoiding summer market slumps, has been inconsistent since 1928. While it worked during the Great Depression and early World War Two, it became less effective post-1960 due to inflation, crashes, and the rise of 401(k)s, index funds, and ETFs. Recent data shows Mays been up twelve out of the last thirteen years, and when the S&P is up more than five percent by April, the rest of the year finishes higher twenty-three out of twenty-five times. Therefore, selling off in May might not be the best strategy; instead, consider hedging smartly and staying in the market. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
