Bloomberg Analyst: Time to Retire the 'Sell in May' Strategy as S&P 500 ETF Only Declined in 2022
On April 29, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that it may be time to completely retire the saying ‘Sell in May.’ This strategy originated from the 19th-century practice of wealthy Londoners leaving the trading market for the summer, but it is no longer applicable in today’s 24/7 algorithm-driven markets. Data shows that the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) has risen in 25 of the last 33 ‘May to October’ periods, with only 2022 experiencing a decline in nearly the last 10 years.
