Should You Write Off September?

That's a very misleading chart. At first glance, it seems to show that Sept is HALF as likely to be an up month as Oct, and ONE THIRD as likely to be an up month as Nov, and only ONE FOURTH as likely to be an up month as Dec. In actually truth, Sept is an up month 40% of the time, Oct is an up month 50% of the time, Nov is an up month 60% is the time, and Dec is an up month 70% of the time. By cutting off THE BOTTOM THIRD of the chart, the chart visually misleads anyone looking at it.
