NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 1, 2018 /Major U.S. markets finished flat on Friday. For the third quarter, the S&P 500 Index jumped over 7 percent, its best quarter since 2013, while the Dow Jones spiked over 9 percent. The Nasdaq posted a gain of over 7 percent.

According to Ryan Detrick, senior market strategist at LPL Financial, “October is probably one of the more misunderstood months.”
“It is best known for some spectacular crashes, like 1929, 1987 and 2008 — but the reality is it isn’t that bad overall, it is more an extremely volatile month. August and September historically can be weak, and this opens the door for the seasonally bullish fourth quarter, kicking off with October,” he added.
