Wouldn't it be better to look at percentage moves than point moves?

Chris,

We mentioned why we looked at point moves in the text of the post.

Hi.

And what happened one week later? and one month later?

Thanks for the info,

Since most of these data points were within bear markets, it might be a good idea to see if they occured preceding bear market bottoms or subsequent to one.

Thanks for the info.

By the way, what's happen to Dow 5 days (1 week) later? 30 days (1 month) later?

Thanks again,
