Now the next few weeks are going to be especially volatile. In all senses of the word.
No unemployment insurance
No Stimulus. (yet)
No eviction protection
Continued partisan fracturing (The President's sending federal forces into multiple cities, continued perceived-as-racist moves (I'm not going to go into whether they are by-the-book to everyone as definition of racist, I'm just going to say "perceived as racist by at least a significant minority to a majority of americans)
The hottest weeks of summer.
The high levels of COVID-19 cases
A lot of people will have no money to spend. A lot of people could be out on the streets. During a health crisis. During the hottest time of year. During a time of inflamed racial tensions.
What I'm trying to say is.. if you can't stand volatility in the stock market, stay far away from it. In fact, if you can't stand volatility in the news, now may be a very good time to stop doom-scrolling your phone
