September is one of the bumpiest months for the SMP500–especially during an election year. The Harris/Trump debate has sent the Trump Media/DJT meme stock tumbling–and the rest of the market is reacting negatively, too. But don’t forget: we stay calm when we’re investing. Take a beat. The market is doing exceptionally well for the year. Linda also back at how the market has recovered since the pandemic, and examines the latest inflation data.
