Midterm-year stock drops and the renewed 'Black Monday' debate

One post says the S&P 500 fell in all 13 midterm election years since 1974, averaging an 18% decline, but was higher one year after each low. Another warns that a cited 5.5% weekly Nasdaq 100 drop, AI-stock losses and election uncertainty could precede a deeper selloff. A third argues that past 'Black Monday' calls have repeatedly presented buying opportunities.
