That's 10 times worse than the next-worst month, February. September is also the only month of the year over that span to turn in a loss more often than a gain.

No clear reason explains September's struggle, though many hypotheses try. One suggests the return of many professional investors from summer vacations may add to the selling pressure, for example. Last year, the S and P 500 fell 4.8 per cent in September for its first loss in eight months.
