Hello, My Name is Volatility
Times like this make me feel like PP investors have a ringside seat to market action and we can really enjoy it, rather than feeling like we are on the verge of being destroyed by the spectacle we are observing.

Speak for yourself, I am down a total of 2.26% of my investments.

This sort of fluctuation in the PP is not uncommon at all.

In honor of the Taiwanese kid who put his fist through a $1.5million painting, I guess it's also the "crash zone."
