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.
Understand that, however most things I am seeing now are at historical highs. I keep picturing some type of correction in the near future based on that and past performance.
I know you can't really time the market, but based on what I am seeing I can envision getting into some of these funds right now and then riding them down during the early summer.
ETA: I'm in the market now, just thinking about making some moves.

Here is my strategy. Build a good core portfolio with some balanced funds and a few other holdings that you keep pretty much year round. During the Nov.-April time I add equity ETFs to create that little extra alpha. It is not always perfectly on those dates, but market momentum will tell you. For example, this year past year it didn't really happen until December. I set trailing stops behind them around April and protect my gains. Sometimes I miss a little return, but I rarely take the big hit one must avoid.
