No one knows for sure. I certainly hope the market at least stays stable, as I know that people's retirement income (and, indirectly, pensions) depend on it. I don't want the economy to go down for any reason.

When Trump said Iran had a couple of weeks, I think the smart money assumed bombings would commence in a couple of days. The huge buildup was obvious and very much on the minds of investors.
