Thanks Jose.
Along the same lines, but on a more
simplistic level, can metastock display returns for a security for a more
static time frame such as Q1 or the month of May each year over say the last 10
years?

Gary, seasonality is dynamic - i.e. it changes from year to
year,
sometimes in a predictable way. A 10-year
avg may not be that useful.
Seasonality is very interesting, but not so easy
to implement
(properly) in MetaStock. I've personally
already spent 100's of hours
and serious $ in third-party programming, but I'm
only half-way to a
release of a useful seasonality kit for MetaStock.
