FYI: The U.S. stock market in July lived up to historical norms; will it do so in August too? We should only be so lucky.
I say that because July is one of the best months of the calendar for the stock market, on average, and August is close behind. In fact, as judged by the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.28% since its creation in 1896, the July-August period is the best two-month stretch of the calendar.
