Warren Buffett’s great stock market timing move
Nothing strange about the 2008 bear
There have been a lot of comments in the media and among investors all year about how strange the stock market has been acting this year.
I don’t agree. Except for the wild day-to-day volatility (after the SEC allowed the abolishment of the up-tick rule on short-selling last year) the market has been acting quite normally.
