Turq, Uneventful day in the S&P500 front. And markets overall.
The S&P 500 opened about half a percent lower than yesterday's close. >From that opening, it slowly rose back to almost yesterday's close, then slowly fell back -- kind of a shallow parabolic rise and then retreat. It ended the day, gaining overall about .1% from open to close. So there was no big selloff during market hours. (Of course all movements were on light volume --- about 1/3 of the usual.) Looking at the initial half % drop when the market was closed -- from last night to todays opening -- well that happens a lot, up and down. The half a percent is atually modest volititity. It averages about 1% between its highs and lows each day. --- btw, what was your friend's (and I know it was some girl you were trying to pick-up at a cafe, not some forum poster :) ) response to my last reply (the one with have data ..). Or was it deafening silence?
