When it comes to the stock markets, history is a guide but never gospel. In his latest weekly Macro View comment, Guggenheim Partners' Scott Minerd offers this interesting bar chart of average monthly stock market returns. "Historically, September is the worst month for U.S. stock market performance," wrote Minerd.
