8. So, pretty much what the stock market does every week

I find the terminology bordering on hysteria. A drop of 1-2 % is defined as "plunging" or "tanking" & if/when it rebounds 1-2%, it is said to be "roaring back" IMO a drop of a couple % is not "tanking" Of course, it will be changing up and down throughout the day as it always does.


For reference, the low for the S&P 500 this morning was 5,944. The same as it was Jan. 15. On Jan. 1 it was 5902. The highest it has been in the last year was 6128 and the lowest was 4908
