The economy is booming, unemployment at historic lows and energy prices are held up by demand, not lack of supply. That's great both short and long term.

If you're talking about the stock market instead, then that's a different thing entirely. The stock market has had a run up for quite a while and was overdue for at least some sort of correction. The political nonsense coming out of DC may be exaggerating the swings but the stock market is pretty much business as usual. Pick any 5-year period in history and the stock market is up like 95% of those 5-year periods, in spite of the crashes, corrections, etc etc.

When the stock market is down, that really just means that it's ON SALE so go get you some It'll go back up in spite of the "resistance" nonsense, just like it always does.
