We moved this summer and the packers lost my crystal ball...eh, it never worked anyway.
We do not have a clue! Just two weeks ago I was complaining about how much my RMDs would be next year and the market fixed that for me....
My guess is down about 500 and then leveling off and see sawing up and up starting the following week. Truly, where else is there to put your money?

Well, so much for my hunches! I see that the Dow is up ~420 points or so at the moment. I wouldn't call that "relatively stable".

In a 2016 Forbes article, they stated:
Quote:
|
In the last 87 plus years, the majority of the Dow’s daily returns (93.33%) were between -2.0% and +2.0%.
|
So a change of 1.8% (as I type this for the Dow), while not normal, isn't all that abnormal. (over 6.67% of days would have a larger % change). It is the last year or so that has been abnormal. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikepat.../#6f9e1f576972

oh, then you missed Saturday's 330 point gain?
I'm on a long trip and I have made the same mistake, because I don't know what day it is, generally.

Lots of ups and downs finishing S&P down 5%.
And I'll lose 5 lbs at the gym and dieting. Or maybe by taking the rocks out of my pocket.

And this is why I don't day trade.
And didn't even lose the five pounds.
