9/2/2025 ‘Something Wicked this Way Comes?’

| September 02, 2025

Something Wicked this Way Comes?

The Annual Window Dressing, in addition, may be part of the pot stirring going on this end of 2025. Window Dressing is the term describing portfolio managers who, in an effort to improve the performance appearance in funds, sell stocks with large losses and purchase high-flying positions, reports Investopedia 2/2/2021.

Then, there is:

The proposed start of interest rate reductions in September….

And a fight to disrupt Tariff negations….

China and Russia working on energy relations…

Oil drifting up…

A very important jobs report this week…

Then, the wicked month:

October, historically, is the most volatile investment month for the stock market, says Bloomberg 9/1/2022.  Nevertheless, 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. 

Nevertheless...

pundits are pointing to the administration’s announcement today of a potential national emergency in housing, suggesting the Government may jump in to help both the rental and the housing markets.    Is somebody trying to push the Fed... a little?

‘Something wicked this way comes’ can always be suggested this time of year.

However, there is much at play…

to drive economy and the markets…

past the wickedness…
