In the last 20 years (as this Bespoke chart shows), November is second only to April in market gains.
Expanding out to the next six months, November marks the beginning of the S&P 500’s best six months.
Here are the last seven years of the current bull market, in which the cold months beat the warm months:
In the first six years of this bull market, the November-April half-year segment outpaced the May-to-October months. This is not to say I align with the “Sell in May and Go Away” crowd. After all, that trend reversed over the 12 months, with May-to-October winning. What these data mean, to me, is that early November provides investors with an especially good time to accumulate quality stocks.
