Yesterday we sent out an in-depth September seasonality report to Bespoke Premium subscribers. Below is one chart from this report that highlights the average monthly performance of the DJIA over the last 100 years. As shown, September is the worst month of all with an average decline of 0.96%. The only other month that has averaged a decline is February (-0.15%). And it's not a down month just because of a few outliers. Only 42% of Septembers over the last 100 years have seen gains.
In our report to Premium subscribers, we also looked at September performance when the Dow has had a yearly move similar to 2009. We found some interesting trends that investors should know.
