Learnings and conclusions from this week’s charts:
The S&P500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ did +2.27% in Oct (6th monthly gain in a row).
Following 6-months in a row of gains, another gain is more likely than not.
Seasonality is also bullish in November (historically best month of the year).
Surging profit margins (for tech) help explain extreme highs in valuations.
Profit margins tend to peak before stocks (n.b. no peak observed as yet*).

Overall, as outlined below, there sure seems to be a statistical slant towards another month of gains in November. Yet never to be satisfied with a 1-sided synopsis: bad breadth, statistical tails, and increasingly expensive valuations suggests you ought not to get too complacent either.
