The month of October has seen its share of price swings and volatility. Looking back over the past 30 years, there have been several October stock market moments, both bullish and bearish. So, how did this October do? Well, a bit less than hyped, but probably par for the course: investors received a trick (the early dip) and a treat (the subsequent 100 point surge on the S&P 500). But, I guess that depends on which side of the buy/sell button you are on… sorry, not all Halloween jokes are created equal.
Looking back on the month, See It Market produced some very strong research and market calls. From Andrew Kassen’s stellar analysis of the Russell 2000 to Chris Burba and Chris Ciovacco’s bullish calls into the debt ceiling malaise, our contributors continued to tune out the noise and tune in to price. And this coincides with the first of our 3 core focuses: great content, solid culture, and organic growth. Special thanks to our readers as well for making October another strong month for site traffic and media exposure.
Okay, now let’s move on to the good stuff. It’s time to reflect on the best blogs for the month of October in the latest installment of The Best of See It Market. The blogs below include the most-viewed and shared blogs for the month, in no particular order.
