People often participate in the equity markets when they are looking for excitement. It's great excitement when the market moves up significantly, but there are a whole host of other feelings when the markets moves an equal amount in the opposite direction. (F_ck!)
Let’s be honest. The market has been boring, really boring for the last year and a half. It’s gone up. It’s gone down, but only in a limited range. Yes, the tech stocks have been the lever that moved it all. Yet they moved the market NO WHERE.
