Market Mover

This from one of a recent online headline:

Bad news, in general, sells more than good.

Unless you’re a short seller, the stock market dropping is generally considered bad news.

The market is often a predictor of investor sentiment and the economy to come.

Of the various types of investments — stocks, bonds, or cash (I omit certain other modalities, such as real estate, precious metals, and cryptocurrency) — the best historically has been stocks/equities. Over decades. Study after study has shown this.
