What to do in the stock market

While it’s true that the S&P 500 Composite and Nasdaq are still in confirmed uptrends, the lineup of actionable stocks has been disappointing. It wasn’t easy to increase exposure.

When it comes to new purchases, what kind of feedback do you get? Do new purchases make progress from purchasing points? In this case, it’s okay to give them some space.
