Will "sell in May and go away"-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

Will "sell in May and go away" happen this year?

Not necessarily if there’s an ongoing bull market.

From 1965 to 2021, the S&P 500 saw positive returns on average in May if a bull market was present.

At the same time, if there was a bear market then the index experienced negative performance.

Currently, the S&P 500 is up 7% year to date, rebounding from the recent ~6% pullback, and ~25% since October 2023.

If we are in a bull market, May is likely to end up being a strong month.

If not, history says the decline has only just begun.

Will You Sell in May or Stay in May?

With share markets enjoying a strong start to the year, investors are considering whether it's time to take profits. The adage “Sell in May and go away” often resurfaces in late April/early May.
