Just an observation or two, after a December 2013 call for a 5%+ drop through February (not 10%+ even with Federal Reserve tapering), and then neutral at February's end. As a reminder, at February's end, the S&P 500 was at 1860.
In other news, have had a few articles recently posted in different media, including the CFA Institute (here, and here), and also in front of Yahoo finance. Also within a couple months will be launching an independent kids' statistics playsite! For now, new information for anyone interested will be provided here.
Even with mixed economic data and heightened geopolitics with the Far East, not having risk exposure (long, or short) proved to be the strongest strategy, and one most portfolio managers likely missed. During March so far, the S&P has neither risen nor fallen, more than 1.5% from this 1860 level where it remains still. This gentle treading is normal for all but those who were still hoping the markets would provide them more. Emerging markets were only slightly more volatile but too have matched the S&P's performance since the end of February.
Market volatility comes, and can be communicated precisely only if modeled correctly. Still seeking the next 5%+ pullback later in the second quarter.
