Disappointing

[Zam-Zam]

The economy is struggling just a bit...

S&P 500 books fifth straight loss, Nasdaq sinks 2.5% as elevated bond yields weigh on tech shares

With vaccines now available and Covid-19 cases dropping, I had hoped the economy would respond a bit more robustly.

Not so far, it seems.

Brighter days ahead perhaps.

The stock market is never going to go straight up.

Ah , if you listen you can hear the hoof beats of the righties cheering stock loses now, it is amazing they don't break their backs bending like that

The stock market is off all-time highs by like 2.5%. Let's not overreact.

You would be incorrect.

I have a fair amount of money invested, so naturally I prefer a robust market rather than a weak one.

While disappointing is I believe an accurate moniker for the current state of stock exchange (particularly the S & P 500), I am still doing well, just not as well as I was in previous months. I am also cognizant of the fact that this affects other people far more adversely than it does me, so my concern is more for them than it is for myself. My family will be just fine.

A healthy market is a good thing, and I'm rooting for that.

Me as well. Retirement is great, but it would be better if the market stays in a good place.

Agreed.

Perhaps I got spoiled in recent years...The market seems sluggish as of late.

Still, I'm fairly confident it will turn around at some point.
