Maybe you will miss your buying opportunity Bobby.

Stock futures were off their highest levels of the session after Iranian state media said there were no direct talks between the U.S. and Iran.

Maybe this is Trump blinking first.

I'd still be selling your Wall street shares off -

you can't make a stable financial future out of Trump's garbage mouth.
You can't believe a word he says.

But this morning we narrowly avoided a Middle East apocalypse -
well for another 5 days as far as we know -
that's hardly a secure investing environment.

Trump could say/post something tomorrow and the market can tank or rise in minutes... no investment is safe

If Trump can end this war quickly then stocks will rise.

So far - no end in sight.

I sold while they were still respectively up. I made a 30% profit overall after 7 years and I consider myself lucky considering quite a few times during that time, it could have been a loss if I bailed.

Meh. Maybe I'll buy back in much later in a few years when things are at their lowest and looking like they can't get any lower.
