The markets are tanking in fear of interest rates, AI, and the election year ahead. They are digesting the bad data, the Fed's mixed messages, and the coming interest rate hike.
Investors are trying waking up to this period of digestion and looking for new places to safely store their money while the markets go bonkers in 23 - 24.
Hootie Period (who-tee peer-ee-uhd) n. The time in which "country girls", exclusively date black men. These women typically experience this between the ages of 18 & 25 but have been known to do so well into their golden years. These tend to fluctuate sporadically, depending on the privilege & status levels of said "country girl". Not to be confused with the sexual move/position, in which a large black man deflowers a little woman whilst wearing a cowboy hat & ass-less chaps.
Billie Jo: "Didja see Mary Ann and her new Cowboy Troy yesterday? She getta bigger one ev'rysix months!"
Laurel: "Oh, she jus goin' thru her Hootie Period. Ma'ma just ended hers after Tyreese was born."
