is up 1.08%. That's considerably above the average daily move, but not a super-sized one (Google says the average daily move historically is +/- 0.5%)..

I don't see anything in particular that would account for that otherwise.

The total U.S. stock market, as represented by the ETF index fund VTI is up about the same amount: 1.04%

As for the Dow, up only 0.32% -- the Dow is an index of 30 cherry-picked stocks and the Dow is not even a good average of any kind of those stocks because it is price-weighted, which is utterly silly. Yes, a stock selling for $60 has twice the weight of one selling for $30, no matter what their respective market capitalizations are. It is a legacy thing that is far far past its "best by" date that the media just can't let go of it.

I'm a newbie to holding stocks and still navigating the lingo etc

2 week ago it jumped .20 cents overnite to $3.69/gal here
A few days it dropped .10 cents … I drive an extra 8 mile to a place it’s been $3.25 for over a month .

Feels like it should be falling more
