buying opportunity
I still think a lot of the market fluctuations are be caused by the big investors buying and selling at just the right time.
Demonrats talking down the economy.
Manipulation—Plain and simple.
Zero movement after the summit with the Norks; but China gets its knickers in a twist and everyone runs for the exits.
Please.
Market adjustments, not negativity.
Only the anti-Trump morons, especially a few that post on FR, don’t understand the markets.
As a percentage drop it’s peanuts.
Trump: “We expect these tariffs would cause fluctuations”
Xi: “Oh yeah well fluctuamericans too”
Amazing how the “money experts” know nothing. It is not a loss. A loss is when someone sells something for a lower price than the price at which it was bought. If you don’t sell it, you don’t lose anything. Whenever it is convenient for their agenda, any time the index goes down during the trading day, they shout about the “loss.” In reality, the index goes up, and it goes down. Seizing upon any one number and giving it meaning, is stupid, and is done only to promote an agenda.
The index is a misleading number. It is the average of the prices of the most recent transactions. If ONE share is sold at $10, that is the number for that stock. If a million shares are sold for $10, that is the number for that stock. The most recent transaction price does not reflect volume: the amount of money that changed hands.
The public, well trained by the media, fixates on the ONE number, the DJIA. It is the only number recited on the radio “news” on the hour and the half hour. It would really be nice if it were possible to summarize the entire US economy in one number, but it’s not possible.
Bank interest rates go up and they go down. When they go up, banks are favored for savings. When they go down, more people think of the stock market as a place to put their money. This is never mentioned when reporting about the stock market.
Worry if it's sustained for a while signalling a turn into a bear market.
I doubt this can be blamed on the China trade problems. All prices are down, including exchange rates, oil, and metals, including gold and silver. If there was real worry about a trade war and drop in production, precious metals would be going up, especially if the dollar is weakening.
This is just an adjustment to the hot, Trump-inspired economic growth of the last 18 months.
Short term pain for long term gain.
Years ago I went to Germany and a coworker requested that I buy some Hummel figures for her. To my and her surprise, Hummels were more expensive in Germany than in the United States. Level the playing field and prices, like water, will rise to their natural level.
As a side note, I am so tired of having to buy items made in China that frequently break after several uses, contain poor instructions, or are simply not up to par. For example, I have had to repair and/or buy several tire pumps that had only light use. A recent pool umbrella had such fine threads that screwing it into the base was a disaster. It is my hope that America will choose to compete on quality and people will buy American because of quality, not price.
Must be election season, the MSM will now talk the economy into the toilet if they can.
Those that don't agree with POTUS would like the gutting of the USA to continue.
