I think we've seen a lot more volatility in the market the past 2 years (maybe I'm wrong, perhaps actually doing a statistical analysis of the variation would prove otherwise... but I don't have the time for the math). This volatility irritates me, because I have a nagging inclination that it's partially intentional.
People can make money off volatility. Lots of money very quickly. And if someone just happened to know what dumb things the president was going to say right before he tweeted them.... they could get in front of a lot of the volatility (not all of it, but there is definitely some tied to his statements).
Maybe I'm wrong (I hope I am)... but it nags at me.
