I know the recent market volatility seems like “the worst ever” - but it still ain’t. Updated numbers for the year just past - 1.61% standard deviation on the S&P 500, and 16.27% of days with moves of 2% or more. Neither of those are as bad as 1998 or 2003, and none of those compare to volatility in the Dow during the 30s. Get a helmet and shut your whining.
