Tomorrow is a New Beginning

On Friday, after the market close, the S&P downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA+.  This is the first downgrade for U.S. debt.  The Asian markets are falling precipitously.  Monday is likely to be the beginning of another significant downturn in the market in the U.S. The U.S. markets will probably be ugly for the next couple weeks and maybe all of August.

So far it looks like "sell in May" was a good strategy in 2011.
