Long term, baby!! That's what you have to keep in mind. Panic over the short term is what leads to financial market fluctuations. Realistically, what did the Dow do. It sounds frightening when the Dow goes up and down by the hundreds, but the actual percentage is small. That's what the media doesn't report.
I'm impressed SB. From what I've read, most Board posters don't have quite the grasp you apparently have of the Dow Jones or the American economy generally. Despite the economy's ups and downs over the decades, the Dow Jones has returned enormous rewards for market investors. In 1981, the Dow was under 1,000. Today, it's over 11,000. Kudos SB.
