The typical end of the week markets today. Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq stumble after Trump says war with Iran not yet over https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live...ays-war-with-iran-not-yet-over-224909548.html
I think this take on the day is a bit more accurate. Stocks tumble as oil soars, Dow loses more than 500 points https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/01/stock-market-today-live-updates.html
Not that I care about how and why we are down today.....a single market day. With what is happening lately and how disconnected it is from fundamental business reality....I dont have much interest in the markets. I feel about like LORI. AND when the markets are in this sort of mode....it is no fun to torture yourself.....so just detach from it all and do your normal life.
Fancy estate planing and tax manipulation. Not something I am interested in. it sounds so good on paper....but in the end it often ends with a big mess. I am a fan of planing and estate planing....but I am not a fan of the sophisticated plans that many of the ultra-rich try to use.

YES.....the markets will be closed tomorrow for....Good Friday. So today is the last day of the week and anyone that is a short term trader is looking at having to hold what they own at the close today.....over a three day weekend. BUT....the good news at this moment.....the big averages have made a nice come-back today....but they are all still in the red.
NICE....I think I ended at the high of the day today for my stocks. I had a large....small gain for the stocks. I also beat the SP500 by 0.57% today. I only had two stocks in the RED today.....AMZN and GOOGL.
It is good to be done with the week on a high point in the markets for the day. it is also nice to end the....short....week, with a much lower year to date loss for my entire portfolio than last week. At the close today my year to date LOSS for my entire portfolio is......drum roll please......(-5.87%).
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE.....although it is only Thursday. We get a 3 day weekend from the markets which are closed tomorrow.
The market close today. Dow falls, S&P 500 and Nasdaq shake of early losses on Strait of Hormuz hopes https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live...sses-on-strait-of-hormuz-hopes-200009635.html
