When is the best month or season to begin trading. Newbies always come on board throughout the year, personally, I think July August earning seasons would be about the worst time to begin.
The environment in here is great, volatility is the the key to making money and we are getting it for the first time in years.
Aug is traditionally a very slow, month to trade. Normal market conditions, AUG is not a good month. The current mkt conditions are great for experienced traders, but not for newby's. I would suggest that new traders sit on the side lines and be very cautious about entering the current market. Other then AUG, any month is good as any other, IMO!
