... from contraryinvestor.com - October 4, 2001 ... ... highest 20 percentage up days in the history of the Nasdaq Composite ... DATE ................. % Move 01/03/01 ............. 14.2 % 12/05/00 ............. 10.5 % 04/05/01 ............. 8.9 % 05/18/01 . ........... 8.1 % 05/03/00 ............. 7.9 % 10/13/00 ............. 7.9 % 10/19/00 .............. 7.8 % 12/22/00 .............. 7.6 % 10/21/87 .............. 7.3 % 04/18/00 .............. 7.2 % 04/25/00 .............. 6.6 % 04/07/00 .............. 6.6 % 06/02/00 ............. 6.4 % 04/10/01 ............. 6.1 % 09/08/98 ............. 6.0 % 12/08/00 ............. 6.0 % 10/03/01 ............. 5.9 % 11/14/00 ........... 5.8 % 10/31/00 ........... 5.6 % 11/24/00 ............ 5.4 % The 10/21/87 up day can almost be written off as a snap back from a crash episode. The 09/08/98 6% one day affair was really a prelude to the last and final NASDAQ blowoff. But, what these numbers suggest collectively is that one day up moves of 5% or greater in the NASDAQ are, in fact, statistically bearish. With 18 of the top 20 days in NASDAQ history occurring during the greatest bear market in an equity index over a compressed period of time in all of US financial history, what other message could be drawn?
