【financial help for hoarders】Should You "Sell in May" or Buy 5 Top Coronavirus-Immune Stocks?
Wall Street is financial help for hoardersoff to a weak start to May 2020 after the 82-year best April, reminding investors of the old adage “sell in May and go away.” The proverb is ingrained in the S&P 500’s awful historical run for the May-to-October period. May has been a subdued month with average gains of 0.09% since 1950, per moneychimp.com. In fact, since 1950, the S&P 500 has been up only 1.5% on average for the May-October period. November to April is the best six-month period, with an average return of 7%, per LPL Research. But the saying did not hold well in recent times. Per an article published on CNN.com, the proverb proved itself wrong in the past few years with the May-October period turning pretty profitable. Wall Street has not seen a decline in the May-to-October period post President Trump’s election in November 2016. The period has been rewarding in each year with 2017 seeing the highest market return of 8%, followed by 2019’s 3.1% and 2018’s 2.4% advancements. Market Edge From Zacks · 5 Stocks to Navigate the Coronavirus Earnings Season Can Coronavirus Make “Sell in May” Saying a Reality? Fear to invest this year is understandable with uncertainty looming around the COVID-19 incident. But one should not forget massive monetary and fiscal stimulus in 2020 too, which should help us navigate through the engineered-recession caused by the widespread lockdowns. The S&P 500 has added 12% past month, but is still down 16.6% from the 52-week high. So, we do not have many reasons to panic about a likely May selloff after an April rally. Yes, stocks slumped to start May on President Trump’s renewed threat of tariffs on Chinese goods due to mishandling of the novel coronavirus event and a sharp drop in shares of Amazon AMZN, one of the key contributors of the recent rally. However, none of the factors look sturdy enough to cause prolonged market disruptions in the coming days. America is likely to be busier in fighting coronavirus and bringing the economy back into its normal mode than in flaring up trade tensions with China at this moment and causing a global market crash. While President Trump thinks imposition of tariff is “certainly an option,” no timeline is mentioned yet. Coming to the Amazon incident, it is entirely case-specific and should not derail market momentum as we already had a bunch of inspiring big tech earnings this season from the likes of Facebook FB, Microsoft MSFT and Alphabet GOOGL. Only coronavirus can spoil the market mood. If these is any flare-up in COVID-19 cases after the reopening of economies, things in the market will definitely worsen. But then, research on treatments and vaccines is going on at an unprecedented speed and testing is being done. Most importantly, we all have to learn to adjust in a global economy, which is not going to be virus-free very soon.
