5. I wouldn't say crashing. Dow is only down a quarter of a percent. But Nasdaq and S&P are down

2 and 1 % respectively.

Certainly not a crash. But not good. Especially with the VIX at over 11.

He's off my list of gurus. I watch a few guests on WealthTrack, and some YouTubers - Soloway, Bravos, Prehn. David Lin is a really good interviewer, but his guests vary in relevance, imho.

15. Clickbait! Go look at the markets for yourself.

Wanna see the DOW? Just Google DJIA. You can see exactly what's going on today.

Don't be taken in by clickbait. That guy doesn't know any more than you do. Go look for yourself.

DJIA is down 0.23%, S&P 0.76%, NASDAQ 1.4%.
Gold is down 0.43% & silver is down 0.9%.
Yes, everything is down but this is not a crash.
