The Closing Bell: The S&P 500 Had The Worst Day Since August
What I have learned, and should have guessed was going to happen, is I bought more Ford on Tuesday, then it goes down two days straight. My Union Pacific (UNP) stopped out on half my shares to conserve profit, then it goes up three days in a row. If it goes back down below my sell price, may buy it back (it's in IRA).
I used "its" properly here once, but I admit to having felt embarrassed. (I even parenthetically said something snarky like "Yes, that's correct"). It's just the peril associated with having a country schoolmarm who was a stickler on grammar. We all mean well, and we're working cheap.

Here's what I'm learning:
What goes up, must come down. But what goes down, may not come up.
Gravity does apply to the stock market!
