The movement of the stock market is affected by large and small events Recently the stock

market has had some considerable drops and volatility. What causes these changes?

1.) International events: debt, political - The first concerns are always the larger issues of international events. Recently the debt of Greece and other nations has caused serious worries about how nations will repay. National debt concerns exist in Spain, England and worries may also spread to encompass the U.S.'s growing debt load. Political risk is
also an investment concern and the recent actions of countries such as Iran, North Korea and the Mideast may have repercussions for our investments.

2.) Domestic events: jobs, elections - The second group of factors are the domestic ones. Presently the unemployment numbers, which on June 4th stated much lower than expected private sector hires, have traders trading on that day's news. What's your best move? What's your time horizon? These same general issues are what makes markets move If they only went up there would be no risk You have to determine what's best for you and your situation. Speak to an advisor. Remain true to your plan.
