Labor Day isn’t just the symbolic end of summer. It’s typically a turning point for the stock market.
As the leaves start to fall and the kids go back to school, the hustle and bustle returns to Wall Street. That means volume picks up. Oftentimes, that means stocks sell off.
September is historically the worst month for the stock market. It’s the only month, in fact, in which the S&P 500 has posted a net loss since the index’s inception. Part of the reason is that major market participants returns after Labor Day and sell off – either to book their summer gains, or because they don’t like what they see upon their return.
With stocks closing yet another week at new all-time highs, it’s impossible for any investor not to like what he sees. But there could be a flow of people getting out of positions to preempt a possible market correction. If that happens, then we could be in for another rough September.
But remember: Wall Street analysts and CNBC talking heads have been warning of a massive pullback for a couple years now. Every time, stocks have risen higher still.
So enter September trading with one eye open. But don’t let history dissuade your from seeking out the next great investment opportunity.
Speaking of which, this week our own Tyler Laundon wrote about a small cap stock that netted his subscribers a return of more than 100%.
