The Dow Jones could hit 40,000 soon, on the way back down. 😆

Little did I know that this would start coming true in just a few weeks. As Harold McMillan said to JFK, “events my dear boy”. 
Harold McMillan was the British prime  minister when JFK was president.

It’s practically impossible to predict short-term fluctuations (at least in my case, since I don’t have much investment experience😅). Although I’m confident that it will be profitable in the long run.

Markets continue to barrel towards 5000 and 40000.

The market is starting to be realistic about the impact that the Middle East situation can have on the global economy. Hence the falling stock markets around the world. I feel there is the potential for much steeper falls going forward. It’s not guaranteed but the possiby exists for the DOW to plummet much further. I fear a Pandora’s box may have been opened.

"Realistic" according to your definition. The idea that the U.S. stock market--made up of millions of people from around the world buying and selling--is driven by a bunch of irrational Pollyannas is silly.
