If Trump walked on water, the headline would be “Trump can’t swim.”

A bull market climbs the "wall of worry," and years may go by before a bull market sees a 2% day, either up or down.

Volatility is the sign of the bear and will see many 2% days in both directions. Some of the strongest rallies occur during a bear market.

When volatility decreases, the bull market can resume.

Once again do the opposite of what Kramer says.

Up only 950 points now, OH NO!

I stayed in — ALL in.

Jim Cramer predicted a Black Monday. Perhaps he meant some other Monday.

People can drive themselves mad following every tick. Up 1200, to only up 800, from down 6000 - only day traders and hedge funds really need to follow things this closely and they don’t use news stories to do so.

...and up from earlier lows

Yes, that should have been yesterday's headline. But corrupt media's headline yesterday only said that the market was down.

For today's headlines they do the opposite. They headline "Down form earlier highs", instead of headlining that the market is up.

Yep, they were great for selling puts and calls. The premiums were crazy.
