    Congratulations. Nice thing about grandkids is that you can spoil the heck out of them. Then when they get whiny you give them back to their parents.

    Dave first thing is YOU SHOULD NEVER LOOK TO CNN FOR INFORMATION ON BUSINESS- EVER, they are communist and don't know jack about reporting what is happening in markets.

    Yes, the Dow opened at 33,800 went up a smidge then dropped to 32185 (Good God almost a thousand Points- How will we ever Survive).
    But, here is the rest of the story the PPT (Plunge Protection Team) stepped in, and it is back to a little above its opening price.

    The price of AAPL dropped to 156 and it will more than likely will go down to 135 to become a super good value. AAPL does this (lose about 25% of value) about once every two years. Classic shake out for the uncommitted folks of the Cult that is Apple.

    "If it bleeds it leads" journalism.

    Still part of a correction for an overheated market because the fed did not take action over the past year.

    5 years ago the Dow was at 20k, The pandemic Panic dropped it back down to that March of 2020. Dow is up over 50% from either of those marks.

    Throw some history at it:
    The Average Return on the Dow Jones During Its Lifetime

    My opinion, from history it looks like it should drop another 10% to not be over valued.
    ...................................

    My gramps taught me long ago, Heck he died long ago.

    Stock investment is like betting in a casino. (Sports book feels more appropriate to me in today's time.)

    Easiest way to look at the market is that guy selling you stuff is more a bookie than a broker.

    Don't put any money on any betting table that you can't flush down the commode with no remorse.

    Since I can not get my truck to float in the air and must park it somewhere and usually every available curb space is taken by Dicky Dry Van. I guess it’s pretty clear now, when parking I take as many spaces as is necessary to keep myself safe - it is unfortunate that it is ok to run into someone’s ####.
