Market bull Tom Lee predicts a record September, but warns that a 10% correction could come in October
Longtime market bull Tom Lee is predicting a profitable period for investors in September. According to Lee, the S&P 500 is positioned to surge more than 100 points this month. However, he warns the positive momentum has an expiration date.
