Bank of America released a list of stocks this week. The stocks have upside heading into September. Not October. Not the fourth quarter. September. The month that starts in three days.
You had eleven months to position yourself. You didn't. Now a bank famous for charging you thirty-five dollars when you overdraw by four cents wants to help you chase momentum with a three-day head start. Generous.
The report doesn't mention which stocks. Just that several exist. Several could mean three. Could mean forty. Bank of America knows but chose not to share that detail in the headline, which is how you know retail traders will still click through and immediately buy whatever ticker shows up first on their Robinhood feed regardless of sector or valuation.
September has twenty-one trading days this year. Bank of America identified upside for those twenty-one days specifically. Come October first the thesis dies. The stocks turn back into pumpkins. Technical resistance appears out of nowhere at midnight because the calendar app on your phone refreshed.
This is the same institution that needed a government bailout because it couldn't figure out that giving mortgages to unemployed people might end poorly. Now it can predict stock movements with single-month granularity. Character growth.
The real upside heading into September is the opportunity to ignore this entirely and watch retail traders panic-buy on September third because they confused a bank's marketing department with a fiduciary obligation. Bank of America will sell those shares to you at fair value plus fifteen percent for the convenience of timing the purchase to their press release cycle. They'll even let you overdraft your account to complete the trade.
