Yes, trading volume tends to dry up as the mercury rises. More people are on vacation, and there usually isn't as much big corporate news in late spring and summer as there is in the fall.
That's why some traders say it's okay to sit things out until November, when consumer companies start prepping for the holidays. You won't miss much in the summer. You may even avoid a nasty downturn.
September and October are famous for the 1929 crash, 1987's Black Monday, the market plunge after 9/11 and the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008. But stocks have lately performed well between the fifth and tenth months of the year. If you sold in May and went away over the past few years, you missed out on some big rallies.
The S&P 500 rose nearly 6% from the beginning of last May through the end of October. The blue chip index was up 5% during May through October of 2016 as well.

Boenning Scattergood reaffirmed their buy rating on shares of WSFS Financial (NASDAQ:WSFS) in a report published on Thursday morning.
“ECPG reported $1.33 in adjusted 2Q18 EPS, the top end of the pre-announced range (7/16). There were moving pieces, including an $18M valuation reversal, $7M of derivative MTM loss Cabot transaction hedges, and a discretionary marketing/mailing initiative (undisclosed amount). Thus, a lot of noise, but the underlying trends continue to move in the right direction, and ECPG continues to execute well. With its locked- in flow arrangements and leading positions in the US/UK markets where supply continues to increase, the company should be well positioned to continue to grow earnings. We continue to like the story and recommend investors take advantage of the fact that the stock is down ~20% since 3/31 as the fundamentals remain on track.”,” the firm’s analyst wrote.
