Ken Winans just published his newest Forbes article: “Selling Stocks In May? S&P Yes, Nasdaq No!” 📈📉

For years, investors have heard the phrase: “Sell in May and go away.” But does that strategy actually hold up in today’s markets?

In this article, I break down the historical data behind seasonal market trends across the S&P 500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and the Winans Legacy Stock Index (WILSI). The results may surprise you — especially when it comes to tech and Nasdaq performance.

One of the biggest takeaways:
The market of 2026 is very different from the market that created these old Wall Street sayings.

If you enjoy market history, investing insights, and data-driven analysis, I’d love for you to take a look and share your thoughts.

The level of analysis, creativity, and confidence these students brought to their pitches was outstanding. From thoughtful portfolio construction to well-defended investment theses, it’s clear the next generation of finance professionals is more than ready.

What stood out most wasn’t just the technical skills—but the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and handle tough questions under pressure.

• How high-tax vs. low-tax states create very different outcomes for investors

• Why timing, structure, and even residency can become strategic decisions

Smart investing isn’t just about performance—it’s about what you keep after taxes.
