The market has retracted, true. The President has engaged in some fiscal bullying and the Chinese are pushing back. That's what is supposed to happen as our policies and buying practices from China should tighten as all the big guys already took advantage...what does that mean? For us, more expensive products and no more $5 tshirts from WalMart. But, it may also cause a resurgence of AMerican manufactring! So, thats a positive bounce.

The large institutions BEG for these micro recessions. It allows them to take profits in the fall and rise again of their stocks. And if you don't think the big institutions aren't helping the market move one way or another, YOU're nuts.  

SO, buy in the dips. According to Sundial Capital Research, since 1929, the S & P 500 has experienced a 16-fold drop of over 5% over two weeks after hitting a historic high. And by 10 times, the index has rebounded to a new record . Also, w 2020 being a re-election year...don't you think some economic heroism doesn't bode well for Trump!!! Bears stay away from Republican presidents for the most part.

Look to REIT stocks!. With many of them providing quarterly and even MONTHLY dividends to their share holders...it begs the question why a passive investor would bother investing in a syndication, doesn't it?
