And of course it's far too early to know how the day's market will end.

It's not going to be the end of the world if the Dow ends this year lower than when it started. People keep on acting and posting as if anything other than the Dow (and all the other markets) going up is a disaster. Stocks go up. Stocks go down. Over time they go up significantly more than they go down.

Plus, while the market periodically posts a new high, it never posts a new low.

Dow hit low of 23,000 that some market analysis suggested would trigger a recession. Rumpy and his rumpublicans own this downturn.

cause they wouldn't fund the wall and they have been very mean to the greatest prezident ever. Everybody is pulling their money out of the stock market to donate it to Trump's "Gofundme and build the wall."

I hope the Democrats in Congress stay firm, do not fold to the blackmail of a shutdown.

The Holiday week is usually light on trading and movement. Not this year, could get really ugly. I think 22,000 might be the number we see before the New Year.
