Yes, For sure.
That’s the random/luck factor. Back in the 80’s, it was this set up all the time…get worse as we closed in-you could practically guarantee it.
Then that tide turned in the 90’s, and really went the opposite way in 2000’s/2010’s, where almost every system trended better as it closed in.
And now we back again(and have been for the last 4 years) to the 80’s crap of trending everything worse. As Ray said, it’s gonna change, it always does, just a matter of when.
