Volatility is statistically the nature of the beast as we lead up to a point of crisis. There is an emerging bipolar view of valuations. The influence of the USD is still such that we will see a stronger dollar as a result with a drop in the stock market imho. This will put off the crisis in the USD for perhaps another year or so.

There was plenty of volatility showing up around here at minute 35 of this video.

h/t to Jesse's Café Américain for the link.

Not saying we are going to see a crash or anything, but the volatility is suggesting a "healthy correction" I think.

We will soon see if this is really just end of the month adjustments.

More volatility occurs when the long term and valuation based investors (such as yourself) avoid the market, leaving the market to the gamers and momentum players. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of group behavior.

End of the mutual funds fiscal year, like earnings reports and Fed announcements, provides fixed dates for gamers cluster around.
