with a CNBC your money minute. I'm Jessica Edinger. It's a midterm election year. November inches closer. Wall Streeters are sending some warning signals about stocks, especially for September. We could have some September volatility. Everyone knows midterm years. You historically can see that. That's the Carson Groups Ryan Dietrich on CNBC. Baird's Christopher O'Hontel CNBC that some companies pull back before election day only to move higher. I think it's important. These are corrections and uptrends for a lot of these names, whether it's caterpillar or Cummings or Quanta. They're still in good long term uptrends. If you're going to follow the typical midterm pattern, they should bottom ahead of November. And in note on September for investors from Morgan Stanley's Jim LeCamp on CNBC. The biggest risk in this short run is just the calendar. Historically, September's our worst month of the year. It's the only down month throughout the year. And in a midterm year, it's particularly painful. And so we may have a month of real choppiness in front of us.
A final thought from Gerber Kawasaki's Ross Gerber on CNBC. Remember, we have an election cycle here and markets hate this. And so when that gets resolved in November, I think it'll be a much better time to invest. But we'll see. I don't try to time markets and I don't try to tell you what the future is going to be because I know I can't do that correctly. And that's why you just have to invest where you're comfortable as far as your asset allocation. Lots more on volatility for stocks in the major averages ahead of the November midterms at CNBC.com. I'm Jessica Edinger CNBC.
