Investors often have their favorite market indicators such as stochastics and Bollinger bands. Well one of Kara’s is what she calls, the Mom Indicator. Yesterday, that indicator was triggered. While on her way home from the office, she got a call from her mom, saying something like, “Kara, the Dow is down ONE THOUSAND points. What’s going on? I’m losing money!” When Kara gets that kind of call, she knows that Main Street investors, like her mom, are worried about market volatility. And that concern is understandable, market indexes in the US and across the world have been walloped. Hear more of Kara’s thoughts on recent market turbulence in this week’s Money with Murphy.
