The big one below the fold~~
Because of tariff wars- maybe?
If you were thinking about getting into the stock market, now would be almost as good as back in May(?) of 2020 when America shut down and stocks tanked.
I put some $1500 into Jack in the Box when it hit around $8.50/share and sold it at around $22 to put into something else that was paying better dividends. Now, my $1,000 in dividends I reinvested at $12.45 bought a lot more than it would have two weeks ago when it was in the $20 range.
It's all in perspective and over the long haul, stocks generally gain.
Maybe not as much as you want, but unless you choose the wrong time to sell, you'll be a little better.
I also took a shot at doing a DRIP on penny stocks at $2.24/stock. $250 worth with a steady 4 cents dividend every three months which will buy me 2-3 stocks this time and 3-4 next time.
