If you have any money in the stock market including retirement funds, it's going to be a poop show tomorrow. You can read about the Federal Reserve Board of Governors HERE.

The good thing that I can say all this is that every congressional member, every judge, every bank, all of the Tech Bros, Elon, Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Apple's Tim Cook who just two weeks ago ran to the White House to give them a 24-karat Apple plaque. Once we start down this slippery slope, we can't stop sliding...and we will be a third world country because if there is no faith or trust in the US financial system since other countries don't know if our dollar is worth a dollar or ten cents they've fired the people that actually have the proper credentials.
Stay the course. Long term index investing per John Bogle is THE proven, passive, sound way to invest. A major tenet is Stay. The Course. Tomorrow means nothing.
ReplyDeleteJohn, thank you for your positive thinking! I've been in the stock market since I was 19 yo. When I worked for Progressive Insurance, they enabled us to buy their stock at a discounted price and they gave us stock on our anniversary as part of our benefits package. It was really my first "real job" and I was super young and hype. Very fond memories.
