Correct. 1's and 0's. People need to understand that the old days and ways of trading are LONG gone. It's all algorithms and AI now. Those algorithms can and do actually pull from media. Words such as recession, trade wars and tariffs trigger action regardless of positive or negative context. There is very little actual human input nowadays in the volume trading world. Neighborly brokers are different and SLOW and all of the combined brokers in the world don't transact a mere fraction of what the big boys do in milliseconds.

To sum it up: relax people! Look at GDP & labor participation as real the gauges to the economy versus the day traders trying to strike it rich. Your heartburn and 401K will thank me.
