In all, the drop wasn't earth-shattering, the sky isn't falling. It's an unusual event, but as long as it continually recovers, it should be just fine.

Larger dip at the end of July and rebound took a weekish. Zzzzzzzz

Is there any point where the national debt (over $40 trillion) will impact the economy and the stock and bond markets?
