Absolutely.

Like you mentioned, not only have stocks gone up steadily last week, logging their best four-week stretch since 2011, really, since up through mid-January, it's been kind of steady, like you're saying.
voice-verified
So the moves on a day-to-day basis have been much smaller, about 0.6% on average for the Dow and S&P 500 through mid-January in that latest two-week period.
voice-verified
And that's a change because, like you were saying last quarter,
voice-verified
Every day was almost a 1% average move in both directions and mostly down.
voice-verified
So that really gave people whiplash and stoked some fears.
voice-verified
Absolutely.
voice-verified
The day-to-day action, like the Dow, for example, was dropping hundreds of points in minutes on occasion, and it really got a lot of people jittery.
voice-verified
So far this month, it has been calmer.
voice-verified
But yeah, a lot of headwinds on the horizon for that with some of these bigger companies and next week with the Fed meeting and jobs report as well.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
And those would be some of the chip companies that have been hardest hit by trade tensions because that business is so tied to China and global trade flows.
voice-verified
So, you know, Intel and some of the companies like that reporting this week and then looking ahead to next week.
voice-verified
There's Apple after their really big revenue cut earlier this month and then Amazon and then Facebook and then Alphabet the week after that.
voice-verified
So definitely the tech side and also the industrial side, obviously those manufacturing companies have kind of gotten it both ways because they've had higher input costs from some of the tariffs and have also been hit by fears that slowing global growth.
voice-verified
And there have been new stories and data points about that almost every day.
voice-verified
And so those companies were among the worst performers last quarter.
voice-verified
And so far this year, they've led the rebound.
voice-verified
But today, Tuesday, after with traders coming back from the Martin Luther King holiday, I mean,
voice-verified
those are the worst performers again.
