Twitter Anxiety Hits The Stock Market Again, And That’s Not Good

Well, that was not a fun day, and it raises the question of how? How does one invest if this is the new environment in which we live? It is not sustainable. From what many had thought was a market-friendly President he has suddenly become very unfriendly. Perhaps there is a feeling that because the S&P 500 is up nearly 30% since taking office, the President is willing to gamble and take a hit on the stock market of to 5-6% if means getting his agenda through.
