    How extraordinary was yesterday's market action? 

    Yesterday's close near the (SPX) lows delivered a second straight daily close well under a 3 Standard Deviation daily lower Bollinger Band, a feat not equaled in the 1987 crash, the 1994 bonds crash, the 1997 Asian Crisis, the 1998 Russian Crisis the collapse of LCTM, the 2000 Tech Crash or the Lehman Brothers in 2008. 

    Now thathas my attention! Thank you

    Now thathas my attention! Thank you for pointing it out. Similarly, the DOW has not had seven straight down days since August of 2011. We've had six so far. If we close down tomorrow, might be a great time to initiate a position - small, with a wider stop.
