The Month of Trade Prior to a Presidential Election Since 1992

By -

Due to some of the speculation around the slope about the effects of an election on the market, I decided to look at the last 20 years of elections.  They’re a pretty mixed bag among the lot.  Some were steadily uptrending the month prior, some were in choppy ranges, and some sold off for a couple weeks and rallied right back.

I sum it up to useless data.  No edge there.  Carry on as if wasn’t happening.
