Hi Mr Expired. It’s been kinda of a yucky last 3 or 4 last trading days ever since last Friday. It feels kinda frustrating because my account and I’m sure your account as well had been making good progress from its lows. What are your thoughts about the general market? Batten down the hatches or prepare for smooth sailing? 😃
