Goodness we haven't even gotten into August yet and here you are talking about September and October. Markets never sell off in a presidential election year the FED just would never permit it.

The market is mired is so much doom and gloom, that any good news will result in sharp moves to the upside. Look at the sentiment survey from the AAII: aaii.com
Over 70% of investors are expecting a bearish/neutral market. I believe this is a great time to invest (as opposed to trading), pick your favorite blue chips and let them ride (ETN, AA, FCX, CAT). For a bigger return, pick some European stalwarts that have been hit hard (FTE, PT).
