Stock Market update Aug 23rd

Ugly day on Friday! This was the worst week we've seen in the market in years, going back to 2011, with the DOW losing over 1000 points. The indexes lost over 5% this week. We also saw big moves in Currencies and Gold. Until this week's huge drop, the S&P 500 had been moving sideways for the year.

We saw big drops in AAPL, DIS, and others.



Outlook? We could see a bigger correction, maybe down to  the October low -barring the government stepping in again to prop up the market like it has in the past.
