It's been 487 days in a row without a 2% up day, but as recently as 97 we had over 770. Curiously it was on 4/5/94 that we ended a 573 day streak with no 2% up days, had a 2% or more up day, then streaked to 4/29/97 (three years later, almost to the day) when we ended a 775 day run. So if...

I used 2% since that's the trading curbs on S&P futures. I only did down since markets seem to like to creep up and drop down. Who knows how useful the number of days since the last 2% drop is, but the days since the last 2% pop would seem to be even less. But maybe I'll run those numbers...

Great. Just as I was about to go get some exercise, I get a neat site like this to check out. Thanks. I think. :D

I expected Greenie & Co to raise, but a review of the Ms shows they are back to growing them again. So we might indeed have a pause. http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h6/Current/

That we've not had any big down days in a long time :). Seriously though, I dunno. On one hand, it seems like a good stable long term uptrend would have a few big down days to release pressure and sucker in new bears. So maybe this is a sign of Irrational Exuberance. On the other, maybe it...

Whoops, I was wrong. In October of 1978, I show 797 trading days without a 2% down day. In `73 729 days. Since 1978, our max was in 1986 at 560. Since the 90s, the highest was in the low 200s (like 221). And that's on the Dow, BTW.

That's what I would guess. Apparently, it really is different this time.

580 trading days in a row where the S&P does not hit 2% down.

1. One share is the smallest number of shares permitted. There are some odd lot rules for certain trading routes, not sure on what they are. But it sure ticks off a trader, getting hit for one share, LOL.

But wouldn't it be fun to be one of them for just a day? I'd say something like "Fair winds and a warm afternoon caused the Dow to rally 200 points in active trading today. . . " :D

But getting back to the title of the thread, I've heard rumors of bring AS to the silver screen ever since I first read the book in `92. I don't know how much controversy the book caused when it was released, but there'd be probably exponentially more in reaction to an AS movie than when Gibby...

Sure, they did "Walking on Sunshine", good tune. http://www.katw.com/

It's amazing that we barely did any retrace at all overnight. Geez. Maybe all the big bears are waiting for somebody else to make the first move.

I tell ya, there's nothing like high oil prices, rising interest rates and a massive natural disaster to send the bears packing! Woo Hoo, let's nuke California and break out for a few hundred points on the S&P! Keynes, you da man. Irrational and solvent all the way.

Yeah, but he has the best interests of the traders at heart, you can count on that. :D
