An old stock-market adage applies this month — how you should play it in 2026
Thursday, September 3, 2026
The stock market adage "sell Rosh Hashanah, buy Yom Kippur" suggests selling before the Jewish High Holiday period and buying after it concludes. The strategy is based on historical market patterns observed during the September-October timeframe when these holidays occur. Investors considering this approach should consult financial advisors and review past performance data for the relevant market periods in 2026.
