But we saved everything 🙂.

Roberts previously reported on significant declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 during the week of July 26, citing weakness in technology stocks. Earlier this year, he noted that the S&P 500 was up over 10 percent year to date, even as retail investor sentiment stayed negative. His ongoing commentary tracks both market performance and underlying investor attitudes.
