Sell in May is not the way to go!https://www.theenergyreport.com/pub/na/13081
"We may just have sideways action. Many times in the last 10 years the market did peak out in May, just hung there but then shot up in August-September. That happened in 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2009.
Dony says that overall in the last 10 years, to "Sell in May and Go Away" and buy again in November, you would have been right four times, and wrong six times. In 2003, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010, the "Sell in May. . ." strategy did not work as well as holding throughout the year. In 2004, 2007, 2008 and, 2011 the "Sell in May. . ." worked. This was the right approach.
In fact, Dony says 2012 could be the biggest year for stocks since 2007—he's telling his clients to stay fully invested right now, even through this April downturn, which he saw coming.
