Market holding strong
-
Even with a weak jobs report, it's slightly up. (I'm guessing it makes stimulus even more likely?)
As a sidenote - I finally got back into the market in a big way this new year (after crawling out of grad school debt and then buying a house).
I'm lamenting my old positions that I liquidated for grad school years back. Chief among them was my $40K in Amazon at an average cost of $140 (I think I sold for like $280 or something and felt ok about it). Had some decent positions in other tech stocks as well.
Ah well - starting again from this week.

An article I was reading this morning said that Senator Manchin at first said "absolute no" to $2000 checks. Stocks went down 3%, so he has weakened his position a bit on the $2000 checks. LOL

Ugh that Amazon sale hurts, but investing (like gambling) is really painful if you open the "what could've been" hindsight can of worms. Congrats on the house and clearing the grad school debt, btw!
