The stock market has taken off, with all three of the main U.S. indexes at record levels on Friday, but that shouldn’t necessarily deter investors from buying now. The best three-month stretch out there for stocks, historically, begins in November.

Stocks have recently jumped, shaking off several risks. The S&P 500 rose 6.9% in October even as supply-chain constraints hamper companies’ ability to meet sales goals and create profit-destroying cost pressures. Plus, an expected continuation in the rise of bond yields could lower equity valuations because higher yields reduce the current value of future profits.

But none of that necessarily means now is a bad time to buy stocks. The next three months are historically the best for the major U.S. indexes. Since their inception, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have both gained an 3.4% on average during that three-month stretch—more than in any other comparable period. The Nasdaq Composite ‘s average move is a 6.3% gain.
