Month-of-year seasonality
The strongest month on average has been November at +20.9% across 6 observations, 3 of them positive. The weakest has been June at −20.4% across 6 observations, 0 positive.
We print the observation count beside every percentage on purpose. 6 observations is 6 observations, and on a sample that size a pattern cannot be told apart from a coincidence. Interesting to look at; not something to build a plan on.
