Here&a;rsquo;s the truth about the whole &a;ldquo;sell in May and go away&a;rdquo; strategy&a;mdash;following it will cost you huge gains and income. And if whipsawing markets have you thinking of cutting back on stocks this summer, you need to reverse course now.
Consider this: in the 9 years since the financial crisis, this &a;ldquo;advice&a;rdquo; only worked 3 times. And by &a;ldquo;worked,&a;rdquo; I mean you would have sidestepped a decline in the S&a;amp;P 500 by sitting out from May through October. Those are crap-shoot odds!
&l;b&g;Selling Low and Buying High&l;/b&g;
And the wins you would have passed up are enough to make any investor weep.
Take last year: say you were holding &l;b&g;Valero Energy,&l;/b&g; one of the 5 &a;ldquo;surprise&a;rdquo; dividend growers I&a;rsquo;ll say more about below (4 of which are primed to drop big payout hikes on us in the next 6 months).
