Wait until the oil and gas production starts up again and gasoline drops several dollars a gallon.

Markets go up and markets go down.

Investments in the stock markets are for the long-run.

Wish I had taken that advice 20 years ago. I'd be rich now.

The Market is detoxing from free money, and a high dollar.

The markets are not so happy.

They won't be until they get used to the new reality, and then they'll take off like a rocket.

The markets are not so happy.

The markets are schizophrenic and irrational, contrary to the “rational markets” theory. Even in less politically-turbulent times, they constantly overreact, either positively or negatively, to news that clearly does not warrant such a reaction. Frequently, you can see wild swings in BOTH directions, driven by essentially the same set of facts.
