What goes up and down faster, a yo-yo or the stock market during a Trump obsession phase?

This is another reason I do not play this investor/day trader game. Exhausting if you are only an observer, nerve wracking if you are actively involved.

In the space of ten days, I have seen Warren Buffet's BRK-A go from 806,000 to 716,000 to 783,945, where it stands now. Apple has gone from something like 225 to 175 to 198, where it is now. Texas Instruments has gone from something like 205 to 151 to 169.50 where it is now. All that "where it is now" info will probably be completely obsolete in 24 hours, depending on whether Trump's next quarter pounder has cheese or not.

If I were an American stock advising guru giving out advice, my advice for the moment would be "don't call me for at least a week!"

Yo-yo's have nothing like that old Stock Market going on!

And I approve of your advice too.
