no no, I was just surprised to see a differential like that in that amount of time. its not surprising to see a rise or drop over the entire day that amounts to 1% but to see it in a 40 minute period...was hilarious.
when the ticker graph basically goes vertical like it did, you kinda sit back and laugh

Remember that day in late February? That was funny. I recall there being numerous boos at the end of the trading day.

27th? I do remember that. 3.46% down for the day...I wonder what the sharpest 1 hour decline in value was for an index...

Man it would have been easy to make money today. Unfortunately with this current work schedule I have, I have little choice but to be sleeping during market hours. Oh, well - I can still research, analyze, study, wish, etc. Meantime, I don't need thousands of dollars - that's OK. Thanks, boss(es).

Rome wasn't built in a day. But yeah I visit the stone quarry regularly, and try to fill my cart up as much as possible, with each trip.
