Another Market Junkie Special
Over the past 7 months I have done a number of pieces on
election years and market returns and following is another in this
series. [I also try to get ahead of the crowd.]
Returns for September and October, as measured by the S&P
500, as well as the total return for each year.
.Sept Oct Full Yr.
2000 -5.3 . -0.4 -9.1
1996 +5.6 . +2.7 .. +23.1
1992 +1.2 . +0.4 .. +7.7
1988 +4.2 . +2.7 .. +16.8
1984 +0.0* +0.3 ..... +6.3
1980 +2.8 . +1.9 .. +32.4
1976 +2.5 . -2.1 .. +23.8
1972 -0.4 . +1.1 .. +19.0
1968 +4.0 . +0.9 .. +11.1
1964 +3.0 . +1.0 .. +16.5
1960 -5.9 . -0.0* . +0.5
1956 -4.4 . +0.7 .. +6.6
1952 -1.8 . +0.2 .. +18.4
1948 -2.8 . +7.1 .. +5.5
*miniscule gains or losses.
Overall, since 1950 September has been the worst month in the
market for the S&P 500, Dow Jones and the Nasdaq. [For
Nasdaq since its inception in 1971.]
