In addition to history working against us this year, there is now greatly increased violence in the Middle East, and bombardment of Syria is certain. Right after that, we have a budget battle and a dangerous debt ceiling battle in the U.S. And, who can forget the Greek debt deal unravels in October . . . and probably Cyprus as well?
Oh, did I mention October is historically the other worst month of the year?
Sit back, work on your golf game, and remember that there is often a “Santa Claus Rally” in late December and that January is historically the best month of the year!
