Sell in may and go away

6 months a year is where 85% of all the stock gains come from, Nov 1 to April 30 each year of the last 100 year average

However some years can be a little different and all we need to do is have a 100 day moving average drawn on the Dow Jones and get out if the price crosses under the white line especially from may to oct 30

Let me show you a chart as of 5-4-11 and this will at least protect you from big losses that can happen in these next months, known as the bad months.
