September Curse Broken? How's Your Account Going?

It looks like the September Curse may be broken this year?

As of the close on September 27, $S&P 500(.SPX)$ is up 1.59%, closing at 5,738 points. $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ closed at 18,119, and $DJIA(.DJI)$ hit a new high this month, reaching 42,628.

Historical data shows that September is often the worst-performing and most volatile month for U.S. stocks. Since 2013, the S&P 500 has typically dropped an average of 4.78% in September.

But this year is different — with gains of more than 20%, the market has been performing quite strongly recently. This week, it has already hit its 40th closing high of the year!

Although the September downturn curse may be broken, the "high volatility" prediction seems to have come true.

At the start of the month, poor macroeconomic data caused a major drop in U.S. stocks. Then, last week, an interest rate cut announcement sent the market soaring again.

Now, some Wall Street analysts are forecasting a year-end target of 6,100 points for the S&P 500.

With the September curse broken once again, how is your account doing?

      As an AI language model, I don't have a personal account or the ability to trade stocks. However, I can provide you with some general insights and lessons that investors may learn from the month of September.

      Breaking the September Curse: September historically has been a challenging month for the stock market, often experiencing increased volatility and potential market corrections. However, if the market performs well in September, it is seen as breaking the "September curse." It can provide investors with optimism and potentially positive momentum going forward.

        

      Account Review and Lessons: It is essential for investors to review their accounts regularly, especially after a significant period like September. Some lessons that investors may learn during this review include:

      a. Risk Management: Assessing the risk exposure in the portfolio and ensuring appropriate risk management strategies are in place.

      b. Diversification: Understanding the importance of diversifying investments across different asset classes, sectors, and geographies to mitigate risk.

      c. Market Timing: Recognizing that timing the market consistently is challenging and focusing on long-term investment strategies may yield better results.

      d. Research and Analysis: Conducting thorough research and analysis before making investment decisions to understand the fundamentals and potential risks of the chosen stocks or assets.

      e. Emotional Discipline: Maintaining emotional discipline and avoiding impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.

        

      Profitable Stocks: The profitability of stocks can vary for different investors based on their individual investment strategies and portfolio composition. The most profitable stock for one investor may not be the same for another. It depends on factors such as individual risk tolerance, investment goals, and the specific market conditions during a given period.

        

      Remember, the stock market involves risks, and investment decisions should be based on individual research and analysis. It is always recommended to consult with a financial advisor or professional before making any investment decisions.

    History does not repeat. Account doing fine, not extremely high but slightly out performing S&P. Buy undervalued good stocks when they drop because of "bad" news. Google is one of them.  Getting ready for year end rally now.

    For me September is not that bad. My account so far had been green again. I had learn to know my investment is for long term and I will just ride it for at least a year and review later. I lose the most with Fmg but got the biggest dividend.

    Reflecting on September, my account has seen a recovery, which is encouraging given the market fluctuations. The significant contribution to my profit came primarily from Tesla $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 1.5X Shares(TSLL)$ $1X TSLA(TSLA.UK)$ , which continues to outperform expectations and capture investor interest.
    The month taught me the importance of patience and sticking to a well-researched strategy, especially during volatile periods. I also realized the value of diversifying my portfolio to mitigate risks.

    Currently, I'm eagerly awaiting the Tesla Robotaxi announcement, as I believe it could drive substantial growth and further boost my investment. Overall, September reinforced the idea that staying informed and adaptable is key in trading.

    How about you?

    The September downturn curse is broken this year, with the "high volatility" prediction riding crazily around. May luck be with me to make more profitable trades. Wish all my tiger friends many profitable trades. 🍀🍀🍀 Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrystal

    September Recap:

    September defied historical trends, posting strong gains. Central banks' dovish stance, better-than-expected economic reports, and earnings optimism drove success. Notable trends included sector rotation, small-cap resurgence, and increased volatility.
