September defied all its market nay-sayers as lower energy costs and a benign interest rate environment topped normal seasonal weakness in stocks. Stocks basically gained momentum all month and finished with nice gains across the board. Note however that indices that are dominated by larger cap stocks strongly outperformed smaller sized issues.
