Market Jitters

Categories: Trading

NASDAQ opened up 150 points, then was down 30 two hours later. Then up again a skosh. Then that China thing came out, and it was down 100.

The market is jittery. Like it’s had four cups of coffee in 15 minutes. Up down up down. Where’s it gonna go? It’s nervous. So it just strikes at, or teases, different price points, then retreats.

What causes jitters? Well, pretty much everything. Lots to be nervous about…always. Trade wars. Tax changes. Idiot politicians wanting to do self-serving things.
