Celia said: “Tuesday has certainly been an interesting day in the markets. At one point, the Dell was up over 300 points. The S&P was also up. They both completed negative territory, but not by much. Once again, the NASDAQ made a slight gain, almost a quarter of 1%, to end up in the green, as did the Russell 2000, which is the index for small caps.

The Afghan crisis

Celia added, “Millions of people are crossing the border again, impacting markets and the overall cost to government. The situation with Afghanistan is a very negative position for the United States. People are watching the United States continue to weaken. Consumer confidence is down and the FedEx numbers weren’t good.
