“Think how nice Julius Caesar’s life might have been if he had just stayed home on the Ides of March, as his wife, Calpurnia, advised. Think how much better the passengers would have enjoyed their cruise if they could just forget the night the Titanic hit an iceberg. As for investors, had they just stayed in cash for the 10 worst days in the last 25 years, their annual rate of return would have been about 60% higher. Don’t worry. Yesterday was hardly one of the 10 worst days. It wasn’t a good day. But it wasn’t terrible. Just a bump. Which makes us wonder. Are our worst days behind us, like icebergs astern? Or ahead?”
