13. Are you surprised at the volatility?

I’m not.

I expect the markets will churn for a couple of weeks until the next Fed meeting, then, if rates are cut as expected, surge past previous highs.

And then, as job losses mount, GDP contracts and inflation climbs, more volatility.

The silver lining will come when a recession is called, probably mid-2026, and that pushes Dems to double digit gains in the house in the midterms despite gerrymandering.
