It's going down at it's core because wages are rising, people being better off is bad corporations so the DOW dropped (yes it's slightly more complex but at its core its a fair explanation) | ||

I don't really want to look at my retirement portfolios. But frankly, thanks to the beauty of having a 25+ year retirement horizon, it doesn't really matter. | ||

To go into more detail wages went up (finally) which is both bad for corporate profits and forces the fed to get more aggressive on interest rates to prevent inflation. Both of these scare the market and are causing the turmoil though I would actually expect a small rebound tomorrow for the sole reason that every time the market hits a milestone either positive or negative the next day there is generally pullback. | ||
