Wow. I know it has been a long, long, long time since we saw the trading curbs, but didn't know it was that long. Sheesh.

I believe it's more than double the longest period in the history of the stock market without a 2% SPX down day.

love to find that link to stat again

It's about where it was just before the biggest bull market in modern history, incidentally.

just isn't a whole lot of visible correlation between VIX lows and market tops, long term.

Problem is the SPX has not had a 2% drop lower in over 527 trading days.

563 counting today. Can you believe it? Wow.
