Never Short a Boring Market
"There was even a time during the Financial Crisis when the S&P 500′s average daily move over a 50-trading day period was above 4%!" Bespoke reports."These days, the S&P 500 doesn't even average a daily move up or down of half of one percent. In fact, it has been two months (42 trading days) now since the S&P 500 last had a move up or down of 1% or more. To put that in perspective, you have to go back nearly 20 years to 1995 to find a period where the S&P 500 went longer without a move of that magnitude."
