Hi Wealth Builders!
This week, the indexes ended lower. The broad sell-off in the market continues. If you are a beginner and have not experienced this, please don't panic 🙏. History shows that fundamentally and technically strong stocks that are part of the S&P 500 and Dow 30 retrace overtime. There is nothing wrong with these companies, fundamentally. Corrections are normal and actually healthy for the market. We just have to stay calm and patient during these times. Uncertainty in the market continues as we have big companies releasing earnings this upcoming week!
