Hmm I think philmipma is using some sort of reverse-order strategy on the historical monthly return chart as you know July performed really well back in Hsitory but this time it disappointed a bit so the same case is with the SEP as it's Historically one of the most -ve performers and OCT is completely Opposite to the SEP.

For AUG hmm, it's very Volatile by nature sometimes a Light Bringer and sometimes Full Dark... Have look
