"October. This is one of the peculiarly dangerous
months to

January, September,

August, and
February. " -- Mark Twain
Invest $200.00 a month in an S&P 500 index
fund at 12% average return and you will have:
| 1 year | 5 years | 10 years | 15 years | 20 years | 25 years | 30 years |
| 2,536 | 16,333 | 46,007 | 99,916 | 197,851 | 375,769 | 698,992 |
At 24% you will have:
| 2,682 | 22,810 | 97,651 | 343,203 | 1,148,887 | 3,792,345 | 12,465,611 |
They don't teach you this in government schools. You can average better than 24% with a DOW Dividend strategy.
