It is interesting that MSNBC would lead with a technical analysis tip. However, given that CNBC had Jim Cramer telling everyone to sell their stocks and go into cash in February of this year near the bottom of the market, why not feature some technical analysis on the front page? All I can say is that I sure do miss actual journalism. Of course, if you want to go the technical analysis route, you could also rely on the fact that the stock market has done better under Democratic presidents than it has under Republican presidents.

DES MOINES, Iowa - If someone asked you to name the worst month for stock market performance you might say October. After all, that's the month when Black Monday and Black Tuesday occurred, marking the crashes of 1987 and 1929. Or perhaps you'd think May, in keeping with the old adage "sell in May and go away." You might be surprised to know September is historically the worst month for the stock market.
Last year the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 6 percent.
That drop was unusual, but historically the index has fallen an average 1.4 percent in September since 1929.
