What an exciting week for the Dow Jones Industrial Average!

If you hung in there, then a big congratulations for being a forward-thinking investor! If not, then there’s plenty of things to learn from this past week to be able to secure your investments even in turbulent times.

First off, let’s just say that Monday and Tuesday were two of the biggest gains ever for the stock market. And when I say “two of the biggest,” I’m talking about within the top five trading days of all time. That’s amazing. Of course, this was easier to achieve following 5 days of complete utter disaster, but an opportunity is an opportunity by any other name would invest as sweet. So those eagle-eyed capitalists out there, you saw the opportunity and ran.

This week was especially great because we were able to shake loose the downward spiral with China. Let China hit the ground by themselves, because, my fellow Americans, it’s time to fly!
