Hey, Ross here:
The markets had a weak start for October.
But we saw the same thing in August and September – and look how those months turned out.
Plus, as today’s chart shows, the fourth quarter of the year has historically been the strongest quarter for the markets.
Chart of the Day
This chart shows the aggregate quarterly performance of the S&P 500 dating back to 1950.
As you can see, the fourth quarter has the highest average return of 4.3% – more than double the rest of the quarters.
Plus, 80% of the time, the index has also ended the quarter higher.
This was certainly the case last year, where November and December were the strongest months of the year.
In short, even if we see October weakness – stay in the game.
Insight of the Day
Don’t be surprised if we encounter sharp pullbacks as we head toward 2025.
328 stocks out of 500 – 66% of the total – bFirst, there’s the usual volatility that comes with a Presidential election.
Second, we have heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine.
And third, we have many investors who simply don’t realize that a lot of the Fed’s recent rate cut was already priced in.
These naive investors expect the market to go straight up simply because the Fed cut rates.
So, when the market runs into temporary weakness – they tend to panic and sell, causing the pullbacks to be sharper than they normally would.
As I said – don’t be surprised if these sharp pullbacks happen.
Remember, we want to be buying these dips.
And the more strategic we can be about which dips we buy, the better our results will be.
That’s why tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE for a masterclass to demo my top dip-buying strategy of all time.
The reason this strategy is my favorite is because we’re following the market’s best dip-buyers – the corporate insiders buying the dips in their own company stock.
They have an informational advantage everyone else can only hope to match.
So when the insiders are opportunistically buying the dips, we want to follow – and use their advantage for ourselves.
That’s why this strategy has never had a losing year – and has built up a 1,900% compounded return since inception.
So click here to save your spot for my live masterclass tomorrow…
Where I’ll reveal:
- Where you can find the complete records of all these insider trades…
- Why so many traders fail when trying to follow these insiders (not all insiders are worth following)
- And the 3 most powerful – yet counterintuitive – insider buying signals you must know about to be successful
Keep an eye out for the login details in your inbox tomorrow morning.
See you Thursday morning at 11 a.m. ET.
