""The tech-laced Nasdaq index rose or fell by more than 5 percent on 27 trading days last year compared to just once in 1999."" I was caught on the wrong side of the market on some of those days, ruins your day. Sometimes, I would think, it will stop now, it will will reverse now, wrong! It seems, sometimes now, it's either straight up until the end of day, or straight down. 3 recent days, about 3% intraday moves: Nasdaq on Tuesday, almost all up. Nasdaq on Thursday, almost all down. Nasdaq on Friday, almost all up. All, about a 100 point intraday move. finance.yahoo.com^IXIC&d=5d |
