Is it just me or has the market been pretty dull for the past few weeks/sessions?

"It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting"

I think he said that in reference to sitting tight with a position on in bull or bear market and riding for a big win.
Fine if you are long this bull market. But doesn't really apply to day traders here.
His advice 'that money cant be made every day' is probably better for the day trader.

Apparently you have to go back over 50 years to find a 30 day period when the S&P stayed in a 2% trading range, like it has over the last 30 days.

S&P has been quiet for about 33 of the last 36 trading sessions.
And even those 3 days weren't exactly big moves one way or the other.

Who knows when things are going to start moving again?
Could be days, could be months.
