Both were founded in the United States in 1953.I start from this help because to read a news about the teachers seizing the state television studios in Greece, - was thinking that someone is joking… When the teachers start to chose side of barricades, - something, with “somebody” is seriously wrong. It’s like arriving of the right time to set-up this occurrence like the “futures”. Also, to base on language frequently used by the EU’s corporative culture, (“Criancinhas para escola…”, etc.). For a day, only one, - the RIA Novosti, - who have a sober head to write about this too. That’s why in my “conversation” with determined “Co”, I noted that the Martin come to simply disappearing… The discussed theme with him, that make me note a several important points: a. his proper disappearance; b. how it’s make me sturdier and wiser (not just ‘that’ theme, where I was complaining about the people, however recognize my value, don’t run to recompense me); c. that in this “relationship”, I more clearly yet see the difference between caring and doing too much for people; d. whit this, very well organized EU policy in my respect, the only good thing was that I make possible to myself, is achieving a state of being that rises above the daily wear and tear-out-your-hair nonsense. e. that without the need to pay monthly mortgage (or this start yet with paper-dragons from Porto?), - I’m constantly feeling “responsible” for another’s happiness (i.e. the 3-d car for a butler), welfare (holidays in Nassau), and moods (how the barroso start like the China)… Now, you see how was firstly stealing from me (with whom else is this contest?), and now comes the period where you want my love. My dear Minister of Everything, mister Sola na, you wasn’t alone to proposing me the “working place” like a Hospital Warden, wasn’t you? You see, … me too, - wasn’t alone to create the everything alone. And I never saw this like a competition between me and barroso. Life isn’t an individual sport (in our case – philosophy). Nor the economical philosophy of the individual, like is yours. Like you or not, (doing this for decades in my case , or not), - life is interacting with others. Even in the desert. It’s not for two days hind the such important (and with today’s markets – is crucial), far going and political news… (“A mar…”).

The history of the grants indicates that the strategy "sell in May and go away" has been very profitable in the U.S. and the Lisbon stock exchange. 15:27Monday, May 3, 2010. Suppose you bought shares that replicates the PSI-20 index, the main Portuguese stock index since 1993, but dividing the year into halves. During the six months from November 1 to April 30 was living the "waves" of the market and the remaining six, from May 1 to October 31 absented himself, looking for other solutions as less risky bonds or deposits. Know how much would today if he had invested 10,000 euros in each of the 17 semesters from November to April and separating in 1993 and 2010 had exited the market annually in May to return in November? 25 854 euros is the value that would have accrued if the return had accompanied the performance of PSI-20 (and not including brokerage commissions and custodial), which contrasts with the 3518 euros that would remain if you had invested only in six months between May and October. Is this strategy, known as the " sell in May and go away ", which also attach the impressive records of the U.S. exchange in the pages of the Stock Trader's Almanac 2010: A U.S. investors had decided to invest $ 10,000 per year since 1950 in activities that replicate the index oldest U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average, would, in 2008, about $ 474,000 if he had only followed the stock market from November to April, with an average half-yearly return of 7, 3%. If the investments were made between May and October each year since 1950, so who would be invested today with less money, $ 8,012. Viewed by skeptics as a random walk, strategy or indicator " sell in May and go away " , can build on some seasonal factors. Smaller volume of shares traded during the summer months, bonus payments to employees and purchases of pension funds can change the course of markets from April to October. However, the strength of numbers and history do not always write the same text. Last year, the stock returns of the period between May and October in the Portuguese stock exchange outperformed the returns of the period between November 2008 and April 2009, for more than 14 percentage points. This result contrasts with the story since 1993, since the average return of six months between May and October is in the -0.02%, while the profitability of the PSI-20 in the 17 semesters from November to April since 1993 around 13%. John Dorfman, Bloomberg columnist and president of Thunderstorm Capital in Boston, predicts in his column today that, when taking into account seasonal trends, " May is a good month to remove a wallet , "while acknowledging that never gets completely devoid of action, but that " between May and October, investors should require convincing arguments before adding an action portfolio .”
