I get why the stockmarket dives down due to the jerking around by the sb prez on China trade tariffs. Why does it bubble up at times?

I do not get that at all. Do you?

    It dives down due to investor uncertainty and bubbles back up if and when that uncertainty is removed and the issue proves not to be a negative.

    But the uncertainty has not been removed at all L. It continues to grow yet the market bounces up and down even so. I don't get it! Glad I'm not in it. Years ago I got bitten so I don't trust it. Thank you for your reply! :)

    I guess I should have said the immediate uncertainty.  Also, savvy investors buy when a stock goes down.  When investors start buying, the price goes up.  I have been in the market for a long time.  You need to have a diverse portfolio.  Some investments are safer than others.  Naturally, like many others, when the recession hit in 2008, I took a major hit, but it has come back up and I've made some good choices in what I bought when it was low.
