LOL- true. I invest in products/companies that I like and use- and I was an early Apple adopter. My faith in Peloton and Beyond Meat worked out a little less well.
It would be perfectly normal right now for the Dow to continue rising to that wee little “X” I have drawn.
Of course it is also earnings season, there is a ton of cash on the sidelines and there is a Fed meeting soon, Any of those can change “perfectly normal,” but the base-case is that the market continues to rise until about Nov 8 or so.
Typically, the market rises following an election. The election establishes more certainty to the market economy. However, that bump is unlikely if the Dems hang onto the House.
