But here we go; over the past 20 years, July has now taken over
as the best month of the year for equities, being positive 75% of
the time by a mean average of +2.29%. Since 1950, it's averaged a
+0.89% return and has been positive 63.5% of the time. The caveat
is during election years, it only averaged +0.27% of the time and
was positive 55% since 1950. That's not so good. However, as I've
pointed out in the past, most of these losses occur in the back
half of the month, post-options expiration. from Schaeffers
THE CAVEAT mentioned shows weak gains
