Some numbers support this idea. Looking at the global stock index since 2010, the performance of the stock market in May averaged -2.6%.

Conversely, some people think they can buy more in May. The Samsung Securities global investment strategy team said: “We are not optimistic about the trend in May, but we recommend responding with the” Alpha in May “rather than” Sell in May. “However, we need a compression strategy. and selection for stocks that do not maintain strong growth or undermine earnings prospects, stocks with strong cash flow, stocks with stable dividends despite earnings and stocks related to intact lifestyle. ” .
