Starting in October and then going through to come back around and end September 30th

October is a time of real hesitancy in the market. Huge crashes have happened in October.

Even though October is an earnings season, typically if no major crash has happened, you can see a rise mid to late October. You gotta keep in mind that October is a time where massive mutual funds are selling off losses, and those losses, if not sold off properly, are what cause instability and sometimes market crashes.

November earnings carryover, generally speaking, year after year, is some of the best two to three weeks of rise, especially coming out of an October that is not a massive crash.

December can be a month to expect profit taking. The December month Santa Claus effect can take effect and therefore create a choppy market with possible rise in entry points around the middle of the month. Markets frequently can suffer a Christmas hangover, which is downside weakness to the end of the month. If so, you would look for entry points moving into January.

January-February earnings season is a really good time to make money in the market. You typically see very good movement here. Of course, you've got the expectation of profit taking mid-February, but also sometimes it can occur mid-January.

March begins warning season. If there is a sell-off in February, you can look for a small pop. Generally speaking, mid-March on is a good place to look for solid entry points year in, year out.

April earnings season: the biggest thing to keep in mind here is the tax time effect. Typically, a declining market is seen sometime around tax time.

May begins earnings season. I've said this before, but as much as I can, I like to say it's a 50/50 month. You've got April and May closing out that earnings season and then into June, which is a warning season and can be a tough, tired acting market. The real summertime chop begins to take real hold generally in June.

After July, in all seriousness, sometime in August you can expect a heavy profit-taking, sometimes even strong enough to consider a large sell-off going into September. Warnings the early month can have upward moves

As September frequently declines, sometime after the early month, that decline can go into October, as we have seen in other years that I have talked about, and then it just repeats.
