RE:I should have listened it was good advice !Sell in May and go away is not advise it is just a saying like buy on speculation and sell on news. These sayings cause people to reflect on what they have done more than to take action proactively. Advise is more like: "When you go away you miss the upside". "Go long term unless you are trader". "Sell when you meet your investment goal or your investment degrades"."Buy when you see value".
