Should you trust the stock market? Pt II
Should you trust the stock market? Pt II

Investing Peace of Mind
Maintaining Peace of Mind Despite Market Fluctuations
Every day, the stock market goes up and down like an angry mustang that doesn't want to be broken! Today was an example of a big downswing in the morning, followed by a near-full recovery later in the day:

"Even successfully applied, this shackles young people to jobs long after the appeal has faded. Youth should be spent exploring—building and expanding one’s horizons—not grinding away in chains."
