I always wonder why no one here ever posts when the Dow is up a hundred points or more, only when it is down. Currently back above 25,000.

Stock market jumps up 300 points, not a peep. Falls 300, they'll be a thread within minutes.

It'll have a big 300 or 400 point drop, then fully recover over the next two or three days. It's happened at least a dozen times since the tax cut happened.

It'll be news when it drops 200 points every day for two weeks. But until then, this is the norm.

The bottom of the correction and the top. As the market reaches either, it's newsworthy.
