If I add up the average monthly return by month within calendar quarters, here's what I
get:
Month 1 (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct): +10.4% (annualized:
+31.2%)
Month 2 (Feb, May, Aug, Nov): +8.8% (annualized:
+26.4%)
Month 3 (Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec): +2.1% (annualized:
+6.3%)
While there are never any guarantees, odds favor the NASDAQ 100 index returning to a leadership position as we move into April.
