The -1875 tick we saw on the NYSE today was the most extreme tick since the -1888 on 10-31-1998. The tick went almost two hours this afternoon without a positive tick (1:06PM to 2:58PM). I can't recall seeing that before. The stick save was very much April 4, 2000'ish. Watch that pattern. MMMM went from $69.31 to $90 in 7-minutes this afternoon, a move of epic proportions for a mega-cap Dow stock. AAPL was down over 15% at one point from the intra-day highs, testing the $220 shelf in the process. Oh, the NYA low was 6666, and the NYA and SPX tested their February lows. Many other issues or indices took out the Feb lows intra-day. FWIW, the volatility we saw today at the lows reminded me of the morning of Sept. 17, 2001, the first day of trading after 9-11-2001. Many stocks I watch had bid/ask spreads of 1% at the lows today. It was that wacky. I think a lot of the spikes up after the lows were market orders getting filled late.
