Another day, another record on Wall Street. The S&P 500 index closed above the 6200 mark for the first time ever. Panicans hardest hit.
The significance of the date is that it concludes the 2nd quarter of 2025. So, if and when America’s millions of investors check out their quarterly statements, they will discover an equity market up over 10 percent in the past 90 days.
I’d previously mentioned the Wikipedia page headlined “2025 stock market crash.” They date the event as having lasted a mere eight days, from April 2 to April 10.
For those of you who blinked and missed it, you can relive those dark days through headlines from the past few months,
