One of the oldest stock market market adages advises investors to dump their stock portfolios at the beginning of the summer in the hopes of ducking seasonal losses and enjoying more time at the beach. To wit, a chart supplied by eToro’s Callie Cox shows that in recent years stocks have drifted listlessly higher during the summer months as trading volume fell and large daily moves became scarce.Stocks rose memorably between Memorial Day and Labor Day last year, with the S&P 500 index up more than 3% during that period, according to FactSet.
