Of course we can't tell from looking at old charts how fast things happened, but I would bet that, like now, there were always slow and fast days. But your point is well taken. 1999 brought with it a significant increase in short term volatility that was not present in the few years preceding it and that volatility is still with us now. However I think it was those few preceding years that were abnormal. For example, here are some good old fashioned wild markets: users.uswest.net users.uswest.net Here are the markets we'd gotten used to up until last year: users.uswest.net users.uswest.net and here we are now: users.uswest.net users.uswest.net You might say we have it easy, as the current market is fairly aesthetic and well behaved. It's just not as easy to dance with as the one that got us here.
