27. http://profitabletradingtips.com/profitable-trading-tips/sell-in-may-and-go-away
without a robust uptrend to counter
them, these issues could trigger a
market correction.

28. http://profitabletradingtips.com/profitable-trading-tips/sell-in-may-and-go-away
The four concerns cited are these:
•Weak growth
•Mixed performance of individual
stocks
•Interest rate worries
•Dow theory (transportation average
has corrected)

29. http://profitabletradingtips.com/profitable-trading-tips/sell-in-may-and-go-away
If you abide by the theory that stocks
are stagnant in the summer you may
sell or simply hold and go on vacation
until the fall.

30. http://profitabletradingtips.com/profitable-trading-tips/sell-in-may-and-go-away
But, if you are concerned about the
Dow transportation average already
correcting and a general weakening of
the economy you will sell in May and
go away until the correction has
happened and then use your
stockpiled cash to pick up bargains.
