WTF HAPPENED to the stock market THIS WEEK? 🗞️💁🏻‍♀️

Snapshot of the markets today

While I want to tell you the reason why the markets have tanked is because of my commentary disappearance, it’s actually probably because Iran decided to symbolically defend itself against Israel accidentally bombing Iran’s embassy in Syria, killing 7 military personnel. Thankfully for the hot girls that invest, the market has bounced back a little with ease of tensions in the last week.

I’m not holding my breath though…

This week’s Fear vs Greed index

What does it mean?
When market momentum is neutral, it means things are sort of staying the same. If the strength of stock prices and how many different stocks are doing well show fear, it means investors are getting nervous. When people are really worried about the market, you can tell because they're buying options that let them sell or buy stocks at a certain price later on. If there's a lot of that going on, it means people are really scared. And if the market is changing a lot and lots of people are trying to invest in things that are usually safe, like government bonds, it means investors are really trying to play it safe. But if everyone is really excited about buying risky bonds that might give them big rewards, it means they're willing to take big chances for a big payoff.

So what are the updates?

This was probably one of the best Ramadans I’ve had in a WHILE. I feel like I got to reconnect with myself in a way I hadn’t been able to for a long while. I also got the opportunity to perform umrah during Ramadan which was both captivating and hectic lol.

Hopefully you’ll see me on IG and TT a lot more in the coming weeks as I look to bolster the content. Show some love here and let me know what you want to see me talk about!
