Welcome to October – and buckle up.
October is one of the most fascinating months in the markets.
It’s famously known for some of the most significant market crashes in history – the Panic of 1907… 1987’s Black Monday… and, of course, the 1929 crash that triggered the Great Depression.
But it’s not always a bad month for stocks – in fact, October has tended to be a net positive month, on average, over the past century or more.
And over the last decade, as I’ll show you in today’s special video, the data tells an even better story…
Of course, the psychological impact of the so-called “October Effect” remains – as do memories of a handful of October bloodbaths – and drive a lot of decisions for traders and investors alike.
It also drives a lot of headlines and noise from the financial media.
Remember, “Sell in May and Go Away” was essentially a myth in 2024.
Despite calls for bearish markets from some prognosticators, May ended up being a bullish month for the markets.
So forget what you hear from the media. They’re going to bring up the big crashes and the panics while ignoring the fact that October can be a very profitable month.
Especially if you have the Money Calendar…
And according to the data I’m seeing, there are hundreds of bullish trading opportunities to be had.
You just have to take a longer view of the markets – as we’ve been doing since the beginning of September – to find opportunities now that will bring profits in November and December, both of which are better environments for stocks.
Today, we’re going to take a deep dive into October’s history, as well as what the Money Calendar sees coming over the next few weeks – and where we might be able to profit.
That includes five stocks I’m watching to start the month!
