stay calm .....REEnewbieas a hobby investor for 4 decades i have to wonder why your info ends in 1993 and does not take in account the 1987 crash ? what might also skew your info is that the global goverments
of developed countries dumped an unprecedented amount of money into the financial system after the 2008 house bubble. ( notice i said unprecedented)
another scary situation is the bitcoin, fang, pot,crypto ,etc. are all bubbles waiting to burst. ALL market crashes in the past had some form of a bubble (mania) going on at the time of the crash.
hopefully this current phase is a long awaited correction. On the plus side that this might be just a correction, low interest rates, good emloyment numbers, low inflation, global sych. just beginning to take hold. and most major co.'s have good earnings.i am long in this market and hoping for the best in the weeks ahead.
