Floyd Norris notes that we have just had “two consecutive trading days when the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index rose more than 6 percent each day — the first time that happened since 1933. They followed the first two consecutive 6 percent declines since 1933.”

Norris notes that after four days, the S.& P. is down 0.9%. “We may not be accomplishing much, but it sure is a lot of fun.”
