Wild Stock Market Ride!

[Don M.]

The markets have gone from record highs, to near record lows in just the past 3 weeks. This volatility is as bad, or worse as the financial crisis of 2008...and some analysts are even looking back at 1929 to find similar trends. The wild daily swings in the markets are almost unprecedented....today, the markets are down over 10%.

Between this Virus, the collapsing oil prices, and now, the Fed playing it's Last Card, there is very little on the horizon to inspire Any confidence in the markets for the foreseeable future. I'm starting to wonder how long it will be before we see the return of anything "normal".

The stock market was over inflated, and not based on real achievement, IMO. It was bound to crash, I was just waiting to see how soon. As for normal, there could be a "new" normal (which doesn't mean, necessarily, a "bad" normal).

Oh good. Yet another stock market thread. Yes, it's volatile.

I don't even want to look at how our portfolio declined, but I suspect that it is definitely not going to make me happy, … no sir!!

I've noticed it's like a see-saw. One day down and the next up. Or maybe a roller coaster. It makes a steep drop then slowly goes up a little higher. Fasten your seatbelts because it's a wild ride for sure.
