Executive Summary: Over the last ten years, September has been the worst month of the year dropping seven of the years. The average return is -2.30%. The only positive years
were 2019, 2018 and 2017. The last four years have been tough for investors with drops of -4.87%, -9.34%, -4.76% and -3.92% on the S&P 500. Will the S&P 500 break that trend or add to it? This morning stocks are weak so are we back to a case of “meet the old boss same as the new boss?”
