# Good Riddance (and Get Ready)

Canonical: https://stocksurgedaily.com/good-riddance-and-get-ready/

Hey, Ross here:

Today is the last trading day for the month and the quarter. 

The third-quarter of the year has traditionally been a weak one for the markets, with September being even worse _(check out the Chart of the Day)_.

So all I have to say is – good riddance.

**Chart of the Day**

The two charts above show just how September is for the stock market – a pattern that literally spans decades.

So what we experienced in the market this month – at least from a strict price action perspective – is actually nothing out of the ordinary.

The price action for the past two days has been positive.

Let’s see how it goes today – because that will help set the tone for the fourth quarter.

And as I said earlier this week, if we go by long-term historical trends, the fourth quarter should also be much better.

**Insight of the Day**

**Now is the best time to position yourself for a potential fourth-quarter rally**.

The fourth quarter is historically the strongest quarter of the year.

And that’s not the only historical trend supporting a fourth-quarter rally.

*   When the S&P 500 is still up between 10–20% for the year by end-September, markets typically end the fourth quarter over 5% higher close to 85% of the time.
    
*   When the S&P 500 is down over 1% in both August and September, markets typically end the fourth quarter over 7% higher more than 90% of the time.
    
*   In pre-election years, it’s normal to see long periods of consolidation during the third quarter – but with new highs to end the year.
    

All three of the above conditions have been fulfilled. As I said – history is on our side…

And NOW is the best time to position yourself for the potential fourth-quarter rally…

Because the beginning is where the most lucrative gains are.

That’s why I’m going LIVE _right now_ to show you my #1 strategy for taking advantage of a potential rally…

A strategy that has already been responsible for multiple fast high double – and even triple – digit gains this year.
