Dow normally dips during the summer?

I was looking through the performance of the market over the past few years and noticed it almost always drops some amount during the May-July timeframe. Is this a recognized phenomenon? Noticing lots of funds at historical highs and want to avoid getting in at the peak if possible / lucky.

Yes. May-October is historically weak. Hence the old saying, sell in May and go away.

You plan on selling the funds in September? Probably shouldn't invest in mutual funds then. If not, then pay no mind to the "sell in May, then Go away" philosophy, because Timing the market is STUPID, but Time IN the market is the key to long term returns.
