If I purposely check the stock market, I post at least a quick note on the blog. I haven't purposely checked the market in several weeks. When it gets crazy on the down side, I quit watching until the dust settles. Today, I finally looked when I saw the Xilinx story. I was curious. When did I last check out the market. Doing a google search on the blog the last time I posted the word "Dow" was September 15, 2020.
I can't recall if it was before that or after that, probably after, I bought some shares in something "on margin" I would get a lot of dividends in late September. I don't know how that turned out. It's all for the grandchildren decades from now.
But, wow, the market is again, doing well.
