First, the Good News

The S&P 500 closed above its 5-1/2-year closing low from 21 days ago. The bad news is that in the last 21 days, it’s risen only 0.21%. Annualized, that works out to 3.8%.
Since the Tuesday before last, the S&P 500 is down 15.4%. Now if I could only remember what happened on Tuesday, November 4.
One last point: Adjusted for inflation, the Dow is up an annualized rate of 0.68% from its 1929 high.
