Yesterday the dow jones dropped by 400 points. This immense drop made many stockholders anxious and obviously very upset because when the stock market goes down that means everyone is losing mo4ney. This affected me because the day before the market dropped, I invested $50,000 in my stocks. Everything that i bought is cheaper by a couple of cents to three dollars. This burns. It taught me to be cautious before investing, to be patient and most of all pay a lot of attention to other world markets that America depends on as well and that we invest in.
