In prior months, I’ve used the seasonality tool here at StockCharts.com to identify industry groups poised to perform well. In September, internet ($DJUSNS), footwear ($DJUSFT), recreational services ($DJUSRQ), and reinsurance ($DJUSIU) stocks were shown to outperform the benchmark S&P 500 and all four either held their own on a relative basis or significantly outperformed. The only group that had shown previous historical strength in September that failed to keep up with the benchmark was the mining group ($DJUSMG).
