Any seasonality freaks out there?

Today starts a six month period which historically has provided 95% of stock market returns. Nov thru Apr contains the five best months for historical returns (Dec 1.70% Nov 1.45% Jan 1.37% Apr 1.14% Mar +.96%) with Feb the only exception at -.15% (probably a little bout of overbought indigestion following the three best months).

This is all based on S&P 500 returns since 1950.

Could the best asset allocation formula be 100% equities Nov thru Apr and 100% treasuries May thru Oct? Sure would have worked this year. Added bonus - no staring at computer screens in the dog days of summer.
