Dow Jones- Wall street
On Tuesday September 1, 2015 The Dow went up by hundreds of points (dollars). Many were so excited about this drastic change int the market that people failed to notice it also went down. There is no need to worry though because within stock market history, there are always ups and downs. There is usually never a time where they are always going up.
Writer states that "I have repeatedly attempted to explain the general the general principles that markets tend to go up when they are calm and down when they are volatile."When things are boring investors make money." Investors prefer for things to be calm. When things are calm things are predictable and when things start to change quickly it makes investors nervous because they don't really know what will happen next.
I think that it's really cool learning about this. Especially since I never really knew what "stocks" were up until I read more into this. I believe that overall that this situation in particular is very tricky, because when you are putting money into a stock you are basically giving people money that either may or may not do well. If the company does do well then more money for you, why not be happy? On the other hand though if the company isn't doing as good as they though you will be loosing money continuously loosing money until they open them back up so that you can pull out.
