    ok, so now that we had a little bit of time to let that all sink in, according to lpl, this was the 3rd largest % drop for the SPX ever on record.

    but wait, there's more! how about the nazzy? whelp, today's % drop for the naz was actually THE largest ever on record. i'll see if i can post some chart in here for that one as well a little later on for the visuals...

    I’m hearing rumblings 48-72 hours until we’re on full national lockdown. Unfortunately sh*t is about to hit the fan.

    here is just a real quick visual of all the SPX drawndowns from closing ATHs over the past 20 years.

    below chart is courtesy of bespoke.

    (note: we are actually at a -29.7% drawdown currently after today's close)

    this puts things into perspective a bit. still have a way's to go to match the 2000-02 bear market drawdawn, and the last recent one being the GFC bear market drawdown of -56.8%

    i'm not saying that's where we're going, but just illustrating on this chart.

    this one though is the fastest drawdown entering a bear market from an ATH (was only 19 trading days! :eek:)

    this may be a slightly better visual ... shows all of the SPX 1 day % changes since the 1920s :p
