Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: One-hundred point moves in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with the index above 17000, don’t mean as much as they did back in the day (any day, pick a day). But when the index records a number of them in a row, either up or down, it does point to a certain level of volatility.
