Stocks often drop in September — but many investors shouldn’t care

Summary

85% Informative

Since 1926 , U.S. large-cap stocks have lost an average 0.9% in September .

September is the only month during that nearly century-long period in which investors experienced an average loss.

The seasonal weakness was tied to banking and farming practices before the early 1900s .

Investors holding their money in stocks for the long-term shouldn't bail, experts said.

Mutual funds seem to be "pulling forward" those tax-oriented stock sales into September more often, Yoder says.

Investor uncertainty around the outcome of the U.S. presidential election in November and next week's Federal Reserve policy meeting may exacerbate weakness.

"Markets don't like uncertainty," she says.
