Yet six of the thirteen since 1929 have occured in the fall....but, whatever.
The stock market and people’s activities are two different things. Talk to any retailer. People spend less and do less in October and that’s what I was talking about. It’s the middle of the lull between summer and the Christmas season.
You and I aren’t arguing, we are just talking past each other. I’m well aware of historical stock market action in October, I’ve been in the stock market since 1979.
