Ranking the trading markets

  1. Back to crappy markets. We had our good trading days for about 2 weeks, now we're back to slow grind trading where the bulls ram it up in the first hour and the market goes flat for the rest of the day with a slight upward bias.

    After the initial hour shake and bake to the upside, we get the 4 point range snoozer till the close. Better than 2004 - 2006, but still bad. 2005 still goes down as the worst trading market I have ever seen. 2000 and 2008 are very close, although I give the slight edge to 2000. The idiotic action in the dotcoms was like stealing candy from a baby. But 2008 was more volatile and had its great moments.

    Ranking the trading markets from 2000 to 2009, from best to worst, it would be as follows:

    2000
    2008
    2001
    2002
    2007
    2003
    2009
    2004
    2006
    2005
