This year has been the worst for stock market till now, starting with the federal rate increase by the end of 2015 then the china stock market crash which affected the us market adversely. Now the earnings season has investors turning their back against the wall street. The future will be more bad if the policies are well built mainly regarding the fiscal policies. Many hedge fund managers and investors like Icahn have already shorted their stock in order to gain from the stock market crash. What we can do is hope for the best for the coming future and minimize our investments in such a volatile market.
