It's not the size of the wave, its the motion of the ocean? In this market we have both.
From 1945 through 2007 there were 49 days when the S&P 500 moved 4% or more, less than once a year on average.
Thus far in 2008, a year not yet finished, we have seen 28 days of more than 4% moves either up or down!
Is it any wonder investors have gone fetal?
