Its a shame they + so many in media said ''worst ever ever week ''[DEC] NOT @ all, plenty of worse weeks, even on DOW i counted more than 7, by %. [2014 Hirsch Almanac].Points dont mean much when comparing 1907-1929-1987-2018. But good scare tactic ,pretending this is worst than 1930's or worst week ever.
I take the WSJ ;good candlecharts.

Interesting comment by Drukenmiller where he says if you have algos that go off 3 standard deviations, and everyone is running those algos, then it's difficult for markets to tank as they should or rise as they should.

So it was probable @sle

One of the best swings was on 5 Feb 2018.
