The Adjustment Month:
'August' has become the ‘adjustment month’ for portfolios
because of what lays ahead;
And, it this:
The Wicked Months:
September, historically, has experienced the weakest average monthly return, says Yahoo Finance 10/22/2025. Pundits have laid the blame for such results on increased volatility when investors return to the markets after summer vacations and for mutual funds locking in losses before the end of the year.
October, historically, is the most volatile investment month for the stock market, says Bloomberg 9/1/2022. In addition, the article goes on to point out that the 1929 crash, 1987 crash and the 2008 crash all occurred in…. can you believe it…. Halloween’s own month of… October.
Now stir into the ‘witches cauldron’ (MacBeth):
September’s Triple Witching option ‘expiration’
The Iran War and the Price of Oil
Interest Rates
The Mid-Term Elections
Therefore:
What do you want to own 12 months from now!!!
What don’t you want to own 12 months from now!!!
To:
Make sure… you won’t have a 'MacBeth' Ending…
