Did the MSM just jinx the Dow Jones?

Lol

I follow 45 stocks, my index is down 1% today.

One of those stocks is RTX. Formerly Raytheon Technologies. It lost 10% in a single day a few days ago on bad news regarding the P&W engine. Has declined 3 days in a row, almost in my "buy" wheelhouse - for this particular stock, my current buy price is $84.11 or lower - about 1.2% lower than today's close.

That's all i got.

The day after FOMC tends to retrace. It was expected by short-term traders--should last for a few days then move back up for awhile.

Short-term traders love these pullbacks to reload at bargain prices.

13 days of gains in a row- first time since 1987.

Today’s losses don’t exactly make the market “jinxed”; the Fed’s hike was already priced in.
