FYI: As the past week demonstrated, stock-market volatility is back, and many money managers expect it to keep worsening in 2016.
A simple way to measure volatility is to count the days indexes rise or fall by 1% or more. Last week, the S&P 500 had four such days, two down and two up. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had three, one up and two down, as markets were jostled by the Federal Reserve interest-rate increase and oil’s price decline
