No one knows for sure what the market will do in the short-term but selling everything just because the calendar turns to May never made much sense to me.

As I point out in the article, selling for any arbitrary reason means you are engaging in market timing and that can be a risky proposition. After the strong rally from the lows this past March, there is nothing wrong with locking in some profits by selling or trimming some positions. Careful fundamental and technical analysis of each security will help you determine what to sell or trim and your overall risk tolerance, goals, and asset allocation should be used to determine how much.

For decades, Wall Street has provided investors with a bit of supposed seasonal wisdom this time of year in the form of a rhyming slogan: "Sell in May and go away." But does that make any sense?
