News about September effect

Columnist Elton Davidge, a Certified Financial Planner with IG Wealth Management, compares the stress of September hockey tryouts with investors' anxiety during market downturns. He argues people respond to uncertainty in similar ways, and that high volatility is temporary while financial plans are built to compound over decades. Davidge advises focusing on what can be controlled, such as process, attitude and execution, rather than reacting to short-term noise. He also references the so-called 'September Effect' of seasonal market weakness.
