| As we end the month of May and enter the June to August period, investors begin to experience the habitual summertime seasonality of drifting stock prices and contracting volumes. This is caused primarily by better weather, summer vacations, reduced underwriting activity, investor complacency, etc. The overall result is that there are a number of temporary stock and general market anomalies which present themselves. These occurrences often lead to attractive incremental investment returns. Investors who are alert and opportunistic can often take advantage of these transitory market quirks to supplement a portfolio's total performance.
