Hi Wealth Builders!
🚨 We are still having our Black Friday special! 🚨
This week, the indexes ended lower. We had a shortened trading week, Black Friday and news of a new covid variant that shook the market on Friday. Should you be worried? Absolutely not. The market is very sensitive to news and can react in pullbacks like this from time to time. Hang in there everyone 🙂.
Here's a look at the 5-day change for ETF's SPY (or the S&P 500), DIA (or the Dow 30), and QQQ (or the Nasdaq 100).
SPY : -2.53%, closed at $458.97
DIA : -2.36%, closed at $349.02
QQQ : -3.54%, closed at $391.2
Omicron 🦠
A new covid variant emerged and has been named "Omicron". It was identified in South Africa. Travel restrictions are being placed on South Africa and 7 other countries starting on Monday to help slow the spread. This is a developing story which requires more information and research to be conducted before any conclusions are made. Please refer to the CDC guidelines and stay safe 😊.
Release the Maple 🇨🇦
Apparently oil is not the only thing to have on reserve. Canada is releasing 50 million pounds of maple syrup from their reserve due to a global shortage in order to meet the demand of maple syrup lovers!
$1.25 Tree 💵🌳
Dollar Tree increased their prices from $1 to $1.25 for items sold at their store. With prices rising, businesses need to charge more to make a profit.
