After a volatile August, investors likely hope for a more tranquil month in September. Yet "tranquil" is not what history suggests:
To be sure, September’s terrible reputation is widely known.... it was more than 20 years ago that (as far as I can tell) the first academic study appeared in which September’s significantly below-average return was noted. Since that study was completed, the spread between September’s average return and that of all other months has been even wider than it was up until that point.

In this environment, we are determined to help you make the best decisions for your trades, both to manage your risk and to take advantage of trend-based opportunities.
If the market declines in August caught you off guard, you're already painfully aware of the costs of hesitating when prices swing 400-to-500 points in just one session. With Dow down for the fourth month in a row, time may be running out to be prepared for the next leg of the trend.
While there is no substitute for experience, as Bob Prechter says, “there is a shortcut … and that is to find a mentor.”
