Maximum Number of month is 11.

Proof: Sufficient to prove that 12 months are not possible.

Let an denote the P&l on the nth month.

Then we have

a1+a2+a3+a4+a5 <0

a2+..............<0

..

..

..

a8+a9+a10+a11+a12<0

Now sum of each row is less than zero but sum of every column is positive. Hence can't be true.

Possible sequence for 11 months is

1,-1.6,1,1,-1.6,1,-1.6,1,1,-1.6,1.
