They were up massively just a little while ago and I just checked, and although things are still up a lot, they've all backed off by a ton.

Edit: apparently the iphone stocks app is glitching because now it shows things up massively again, and the huge drop it showed just now is gone from the charts. I don't know what happened.

Carry on.

Yea I don't know what happened. The app showed the DOW up by just 300 but now it's back to +1100, and the massive drop in all the charts is gone.

fricking app made me go check CNN since I figured something bad happened and surely CNN would've been all over anything to hurt Trump but I didn't see anything there. That confused me even more

I don't know if you're aware.

But there's this erratic asshat, that some people thought would be a good president, despite his first attempt ending in a fiasco, who likes to keep world markets in a constant state of uncertainty brought on by his non stop drama and stupidity.

I see this occasionally. I close the window and reopen. Software glitches who knows on whose part. I check other sources to confirm before getting concerned

Man..... the big money players manipulate the stock market. The big boys plan when big swings will happen.
They take turns on winnners and losers.

I played around with trading for a couple of years, and it's not hard to figure out.
And don't even talk about "muh SEC"! Lol

In the short run the market is a voting booth. In the long run it is a scale.

Invest, don't speculate.

Did AlterEd hack your account? He is the king of not performing due diligence before starting a thread.
