This was looking like a promising week in the stock market. Both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ were going up in the beginning of the week but then tanked at the end of the week. As a result, the S&P 500 finished the week down 2.75% while the NASDAQ was down 3.83%. Because the markets tanked at the end of the week, my accounts did the same. Let’s check out how my week went.
