Buy-and-hold beats 'sell in May' seasonal tactics, chart shows
Original: This chart shows that buying and holding stocks beats ‘sell in May and go away’ and other gimmicks
MarketWatch published a chart arguing that simply buying and holding stocks outperforms seasonal trading gimmicks such as the old adage 'sell in May and go away'. The piece suggests investors who exit the market during summer months tend to miss gains, reinforcing the case for staying invested year-round rather than timing the calendar.
Why now: It is May, when the seasonal stock market adage resurfaces and investors debate whether to sell.
