Breaking News
If it weren’t for bad news there wouldn’t be any. Inflation still soaring, an auto workers strike that is dragging on, mortgage rates over 8% and now a war in the middle east. This war shows signs of escalating into a major conflict and dragging the US into the middle of it.
Hard to get excited about the markets !!

Stock market news today: S&P 500, Nasdaq tumble as Google slides
Stocks slid on Wednesday as investors digested mixed earnings reports from Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) while Treasury yields pushed higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell roughly 0.1%, while the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell almost 1.2% and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) dropped more than 2%.
Alphabet shares slid more than 9% after the Google parent beat on earnings and revenue but fell short in its cloud business. By contrast, Microsoft stock popped 2% after its own double beat showed its bets on AI were paying off for its cloud segment.
Other megacaps lost ground as the mixed picture sapped some faith in Big Techs, which have powered gains in stocks this year. Amazon stock (AMZN) and Facebook parent Meta (META) — which reports results after the close Wednesday — were down about 3%.
Keeping your funds on the sidelines seems the smart thing to do
