Well, as luck would have it, immediately after my last blog on April 10th<\/sup>\u00a0suggesting we were overdue for a 5% pullback, we happened to get one.\u00a0To be clear, I\u2019d rather be lucky than good and that was a lucky guess.\u00a0As I suggested, this is very normal and not anything to try to plan around.\u00a0We did see some improvement last week, but I think we\u2019ll stay choppy here for a bit.\u00a0Interest rates have shot-up in the market, so unless and until those rates can ease back down, expect volatility.\u00a0The Fed rate decision will certainly be a closely watched event (hint:\u00a0they are unlikely to raise or cut rates).<\/p>\n

That brings me to the main point of the blog today.\u00a0There is an old adage in the Investment world that says \u201csell in May and go away.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0This isn\u2019t hating on May.\u00a0Its quite a nice month, BUT it does kick off the seasonally weaker 6 mo period of May-October.\u00a0\u00a0This is compared to the seasonally stronger November \u2013 April stretch.\u00a0But, MOST of the weakness in the May-October is typically found in September and October.\u00a0In fact, May has been higher in 9 of the last 10 years! Hard to suggest that May is the problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So, as you can see, old adages\/rules-of-thumb\/wives tales are no way to invest. May could turn out to be a great month (and often is), but I think we\u2019ll continue to churn here for a while below all-time highs as we try to figure out the next direction for interest rates.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, enjoy the great weather. School is close to being done for the year and then Summer will be here before you know it. And, no \u2013 Don\u2019t sell in May.<\/p>\n
