These Two Asset Classes Were the Only Winners in September
Commodities and cash rose last month, while stocks, bonds, and real estate fell.
Overview
September was not a good month for the stock market. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index dropped 0.3% for the month. The total U.S. stock market, as measured by the Vanguard Morningstar Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI), fell 0.8%.
The results aren't a big surprise, as September has historically been a rough month for stocks.
