Are You Ready to 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.

Major indices like $S&P 500(.SPX)$ and $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ have retraced much from recent highs and bond yields have risen, the broader market performance suggests that global growth and earnings are pivotal

Bearish news continues to emerge with stagnant inflation and bad earnings irritating stock market.

Despite short-term cooling off, particularly in large tech stocks, a broader sell-off isn't evident, indicating a potential rotation into undervalued sectors.

Are you ready to Sell in May?

Is the market correction over or not?

Will you shift to inflation trades in May?

      根据最近的新闻报道,关于"五月卖出"的策略,即在五月份卖出股票,然后在十一月份再买入,以避免通常较弱的市场表现,其有效性存在争议,因为结果因年份而异。因此,是否在五月份卖出股票需要根据具体情况来决定,不能仅仅依靠季节性因素来做出决策。

      此外,有一些报道指出,美联储仍不愿意降息,大型科技股等领域的持续增长可能会抵消更广泛的抛售,表明可能会出现对被低估行业的轮动。因此,市场是否已经结束了调整期还需要进一步观察。

      至于是否在五月份转向通胀交易,这也需要根据个人的投资策略和市场情况来决定。通胀交易是一种针对通胀预期的投资策略,可以通过投资与通胀相关的资产来保值或获取收益。

      总之,投资决策应该基于充分的研究和分析,结合个人的投资目标和风险承受能力来做出。如果您需要更多相关信息,建议查看股票报价页面或咨询专业的财务顾问。请注意,以上内容仅供参考,不构成投资建议。

    "Sell in May and go away" is an adage referring to the historically weaker performance of stocks from May to October compared with the other half of the year.

    Personally, I don't fully trust in this, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't. As a trend investor, I mainly focus on the trend of my watchlists without considering all the noises, in order to make my trading easier.

    Well, I think the retracement happens earlier this year in March and April and now towards end April, it seems like we are having the little bull market back. Moreover, several tech giants are still delivering great earnings result for this quarter, which might be a reason to have the major indexes to trend higher.

    However, if you trust the "Sell in May" citation, investors could still try to capitalize on the pattern by rotating into less economically sensitive stocks from May to October.

    In short, I prefer to adjust my position following my holdings' trend, without being influenced by the market noises.

    主要指數如$標準普爾500(.SPX)$和$納斯達克(.IXIC)$從近期高點大幅回撤,債券收益率上升,整體市場表現表明,全球增長和收益至關重要


    隨着通脹停滯和糟糕的收益刺激股市,負面消息不斷出現。


    儘管短期內出現降溫,尤其是大型科技股,但更廣泛的拋售並不明顯,這表明可能會轉向被低估的行業。

    Sell in May the speculative stocks. Keep the good companies for long. Keep a very keen eye on technical analysis to gauge the market correction. It is good if we can profit from increasing price levels influenced by inflation or expectations of oncoming inflation.

    I hope correction not over... we will know next week as Nasdaq and S&P reach 50MA last Fri. If it bounces back down next week, then correction not over. And I will be so happy. Buy in May and Say Hooray! We are compounding wealth here... so no selling unless fundamentals of company change. Just buy and hold and get rich in 5 to 10 years time.

    Sell in May and go away could be correct for Singapore stocks. This is a seasonal factor of dividend payments. And SGX is a solid dividend stocks market which has no dividend income tax. Most of SG listed companies ex-dividend date are in May, properly stock price peaks are just before ex-dividend date.
    I buy low and sell high $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ many times in a small amount for coffee money.
    5%   profits is ok because $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ dividend yield is 4%.
    I could earn two times 5% in a year from STI ETF.

  • 今年的 Sell in May 与众不同,第一现在高利率,第二今年大大选年。会多么不同呢,我个人认为下跌是必然的,只是深度与广度如何,还不清楚。但预计至少会下跌至6月中的CPI数据公布、与美联储会议再做进一步观察。现在是现任政府与联储之间的拉锯战。
