Allan:

One of the clowns on CNBC put up a chart dating back to the 1920s showing volitility as measured by % intra-day moves. While we are still under the 20s volitility, we are looking quite similiar to that of the late 60s before the second worst bear last century. Lots of stocks ending in tronics, etc during that time.

Very interesting, Allan. This is what I've suspected, but it's good to see the figures. I did similar number crunching back in 98 and was surprised to see that the volatility was not unusually high, and was well above that experienced in 29, which gave me some reassurance. So now maybe I am not so assured :-) If you think of this market as a stochastic control system, I would say it is becoming uncontrollable.
