Marginal losses in the s p 500, dow and nasdaq, as you can see there. Just about a quarter to a third of a percent across the board here, but we were positive at one point today so a lot of that uncertainty playing out, but not a lot of reason to wholesale buy or sell so thats what were seeing in markets.

Stocks. It really started, if you think about it, a year ago today with a big rally the day after christmas, the after the Christmas Eve selloff last year. Now as we get set for a new year, nasdaq 9,000, what is next . What are you thinking about . Im really optimistic where the markets are going in 2020. It is kind of interesting, if you look at this historically, with a year where markets are up over 20 , on the average the dow has been up over 75 of the time with an average of close to 9 . The s p 500 has been up over 83 of the time with an average over 11 .

I dont see it that way. I look at i only have history not a lot of history with these things, but day by day of when clinton was impeached in trial and anniversary of which is tomorrow. Yes, it is. And you got that period from january 7th, 1999, february 12th, really the most turmoil and thats where you at the height of when things were bad, the nasdaq lost. 18 s p down 3. 0 dow down 2. 6 and after that the market roared. If you want to know when to buy, might want it buy into the teeth of tomorrow, maybe even next day. Because it is just a great opportunity. It doesnt feel as though when it comes to the markets that there has been any real impact from this no. None whatsoever
