Subscribe to Benzinga's Deep Dives: https://www.youtube.com/@benzingadeepdives The stock market just got everything it wanted. Nvidia's blowout earnings crushed the AI bubble fear, stocks ripped to record highs, and the fear that the Fed would keep hiking interest rates has finally started to fade. It's about as perfect a setup as investors could ask for. Which is exactly the problem, because the market is now walking straight into September, historically the single worst and most dangerous month of the year for stocks. In this video I break down the rise and the risk of the fall. First the rise: why Nvidia's monster quarter (96 billion in revenue and a 70 percent growth forecast) was the last big domino that sent the market to new highs. Then the turn: why September is the only month in history with a negative average return, why the 1929, 1987 and 2008 crashes all hit in September, and the real reasons behind the September effect. Then the three things that make this September especially loaded: a market priced for perfection, a brand new and untested Fed chair speaking at Jackson Hole, and a rally leaning on just a handful of AI names. And finally, the part almost nobody tells you: what history actually says you should do, including the fact that September still finishes higher nearly 45 percent of the time. It is the market's scariest month, not a guaranteed crash. $NVDA.
