I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Stocks close sharply lower as shutdown continues, Dow ends at one-month low; Vix soars 13%

By: | CNBC.com Stock Market Writer
                

Stocks finished broadly lower Monday, with the Dow hitting a one-month low, as the government shutdown dragged for a second week and as investors grew worried that lawmakers may not be able to increase the debt ceiling, potentially leading to a default.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped 136.34 points to finish at 14,936.24, dragged by American Express and Visa.

The S&P 500 dropped 14.38 points to close at 1,676.12. And the Nasdaq fell 37.38 points to end at 3,770.38.

The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, spiked more than 13 percent to trade near 19, hitting a fresh three-month high.
