Friend told me this is post worthy, anyways I’m blessed. I withdrew everything and put it all into VOO. Hoping I’ll be ahead of my age group for future retirement. God bless America.

US markets actually reacted to deepseek days after it was released lol. Same with alibabas ai, took an extra day after it was released for market to do its biggest swing
