Learn to trade stock successfully.

Learn to profit consistently.

I'm Ryan Mallory, and on my weekly podcast, I'm going to teach you the ends and outs of a complex, ever-changing stock market.

You will learn to trade better, trade smarter,

and profit bigger. Now, let's go trade. Hey everybody, this is Ryan Mallory. And today I want to

talk to you about market seasonality because we're on the last day of quarter three, we're going into

quarter four, which tends to be for a lot of companies because of the Christmas season and

the holidays, the strongest quarter of the year. So let's talk about that. And let's just talk

about too what we just came out of here, which is typically the dollar time of the markets,

the summertime, the time when

the markets really aren't supposed to be doing anything. And we'll talk about the whole sell in May

and go away that everybody always likes to espouse. So yeah, first off, sell and may go away.

Do you just really sell all your stocks and go away and act like the market isn't there until about

November time period? And then you buy back like the market isn't there until about November time

period and then you buy back into the market and hold again until May, which at that point you

sell again. No, you never do that. In fact, over the last few years, the summer months has been

some of the best times for the market. So I actually appreciate the summertime and do see it as a time where you can

make some profits, both to the long side and short side. We've seen some summers where it does

fall apart, but you look at the summer here and the large majority of the markets gains

this year so far has come in the summertime. So looking at the S&P 500 chart,

you can see that if you go and look at the monthly,

that here in May, the market was only up about 1, 1.5% about it.
