Re: "Go away in May"
There's plenty of strategies to follow, but this year, I stuck around in the S in May, and made a decent amount (2.2%). June advertises the same, as well as July. If you want to do the L2020-2050 funds, that is a good "go away in may strategy," but the Market has been well in May. I would say average in June.
As for coming back in September, I think many strategies advertise S on September 1st. Such as #31954.

Re: "Go away in May"
Historically, the "go away in May" literally referred to NY Stockbrokers "going away" to their summer homes in the Hamptons for the season. Maybe they came back in September because it got to cold to play on the beach.

NOTE: If following the "Sell and Go Away in May" strategy, the investor would return and buy in November.
