What goes up, must come down, spinning wheel got to go ‘round........................
Cashed out, should have done it sooner. Going to snooze until the party gets started gain.
I am an investor. I am not rattled.
When people stop spending money, worry. The Dow jumps up and down, and the cost of living keeps going up. Its normal for the USA. $5000 dollars a year in 1955 gave you the same amount of spending power as $50,000 today. The Dow is just an indicator of investments, good and bad.

All is perspective. Still higher than it was Monday.
Months like the last three are why I believe in dollar cost averaging. Besides I make better returns on the market than my checking account and I get paid weekly.
Wall street is making money (transaction churning) by making believe they are more spooked than they really are over long term effects of current actions and reactions over trade issues.
They know full well that this is the sparring phase of negotiations and new terms and a new regime will be worked out, to enough satisfaction all around that trade stability will return almost as quickly as the markets have seemed to become spooked. Meanwhile, they manipulate investors into making more money for Wall Street - selling fear really does work in that regard.
Sounds like the “Market” is trying to strong-arm the Fed because they got used to the easy money environment - also looking to see which markets will suffer and which will suddenly flourish in comparison.....the biggest thing to understand about the Stock Market is that there is no real apparent rhyme and reason to much of what it does.
