6. Is it crashing?

Sunday

The current decline isn’t even half the size of the drop just last spring, from which the market quickly recovered and went on to make further gains.

I don’t expect a crash, I expect ongoing volatility , reflective of the erratic, incompetent leadership of the nation.

Panic is never financially rewarding. Maintaining a balanced diverse portfolio is always the best strategy.
