October may be known for black swan events — The Bank Panic of 1907, Black Tuesday in 1929, Black Monday in 1987 and the second-worst month of the Great Financial Crisis in 2008–2009.
But according to our own Sean Brodrick, that’s just not how you should look at this month.
He writes:
“Cyclically speaking, the market is about to enter one of its strongest stretches of the year.
“So don’t let a little Octoberphobia scare you out of stocks. If we get early-October weakness, I’d look at it as a buying opportunity.
“Since 1950, the S&P 500 has risen 80.3% of the time in the fourth quarter.
“Its average gain: 4.2%.
“As you can see, Q4 doesn’t just beat the other quarters. It leaves them in the dust.”
He’s not the only one looking at opportunities — and risks — in this fourth quarter.
Here’s what the rest of your experts are saying:
