What is the significance of the turmoil and recent downturns in the Dow Jones Industrial Average last week? The Dow loss more than 2400 points between January 26, 2018 and February 9th, 2018. This happens just a few months after a report showed that most American, 56%, are not even investing in the stock market and have not taken advantage of the rise in prices over the last 2 years to the tune of a 51.4% gain since February 8th 2016. Why are most Americans avoiding or not participating in the stock market? and What might this latest drop in prices mean for the average investor, or trader, if anything? or The economy overall?
