I missed all the funs yesterday. I had to go to DC for the day.
As I've said it before:
Wall street people are whit collard criminals. They trade inside, pump and dump and in most cases they play with their own money. NYSE floor runners used to front run their own clients. I used to watch on level II the same firm that just upgraded a stock, sell it like crazy.
Wall street is very very nervous because they don't like certain race. They are not sure about the election and this will be the first election year that the market would go down and not up.
Bryan, no ever made any money in the market by panicking. With that being said, you don't have the luxury of time on your side, however, you have the option of cashing out enough to carry you over for next couple of years if you want to. The fact that a lot of people are scared is actually good because that's what market looking for (market capitulation) justify getting back in again.
After all, in Wall Street, money is not everything, IT'S THE ONLY THING. They sell their own mothers if you offer them enough money.

Disclaimer: Although I generalized my statement, there are always exceptions.

I love politics; it's the politicians that I can't stand.
Ride safe
