Mindmeld, "To demonstrate the strength of the November through April period versus May through October, the Stock Trader's Almanac tracks the gains you'd see if you invested $10,000 in the Dow industrials on Nov. 1 of each year and then sold April 30. If you'd done that every year since 1950, you'd have earned $492,060 on a $10,000 investment, according to the Almanac. But if you'd reversed the whole process, and invested the compounded $10,000 during the May-October period, after 54 years you would have ended up with a $318 loss. money.cnn.com
