DJIA Monthly Gains

The following chart comes to us from "Chart of the Day." This chart illustrates the DJIA's performance for each calendar month since 1950 (blue columns) and 1980 (gray columns). What does the chart demonstrate? Well, while the strongest month for stocks, as measured by the DJIA, has historically been November or December, April has tended to be the second strongest month of the year. Bring it on! Oh, you may want to go back and review the Halloween Indicator that was posted on October 26, 2006.
