Editor’s Note: Considering recent market volatility, it’s important to make sure you’ve locked in a consistent stream of income, so you won’t take any hard hits when the markets drop a few hundred points in a single day. Fortunately, a new tax law could open the door for 259 million Americans to receive checks for as much as triple the average monthly Social Security payment.

To say the markets have been volatile is quite the understatement.
For instance, The DOW has seen a 1,000-point price swings in one day. It’s not uncommon to see less “severe” price swings of 300-400 points these days, too. And while the S&P 500 is up, it’s only by 0.66% – a measly less than 1% that was far more stressful for many people to attain than just sitting out altogether.
To make things even more difficult for investors and traders alike – these aren’t one-directional swings. So one second, the market’s skyrocketing 400 points, and the next, it’s taking a 500-point plunge.
Needless to say, 2018 has not provided us with the consistent and stable market that 2017 did at one time.
