Stock Market update -Jun 26th

This was Brexit week, and we got it on Friday! The DOW was down overnight over 700 points at one time, and Bonds and Gold shot up like a rocket. Great Britain decided to leave the EU and it roiled markets in a big way (see Friday's closing numbers below).

What does this mean going forward? No one really knows, but we could see further downside action back to the February lows maybe. Japan's market already dropped to the Feb lows on Friday.

With all the uncertainty, including Brexit, I have a hard time thinking that the market will rally from here, especially since it hasn't been able to rally past the tops of just over 2100 for more than a year. But in spite of the huge drop on Friday, we're just back to the mid-May levels of around 2040, hardly a market crash!

Brexit cost investors $2 trillion, the worst one day drop ever
