A favorite Wall Street saying - "Sell in May and go away." This would have worked well again this year, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average has lost ground for six straight weeks, falling 6.7% since late April.

According to The Wall Street Journal,  the Dow Jones Industrial Average over its entire 115-year history, has fallen an average of 0.04% in May, one of three months that have a negative average. (The others are February and September.)
