They . are . incorrect.

Of course, Murphy knows... But it's well known that he never does interviews.

: A fascinating statistic about the current no-vol state of the

: that the last time we had 13 consecutive days in which the
: S&P moved less than 0.3% in either direction was... never:
: ... all you really need to know about markets at the moment
: is that yesterday's move in the S&P 500 (+0.16%) added to
: the record daily run of less than 0.3% moves in either
: direction. It’s now 13 days since we had a larger move
: using daily data back to 1927. The second longest streak of
: this length was of 10 days which has happened twice in
: history. The most recent time was in England's solitary
: football World Cup winning year (06 Jan 1966 - 19 Jan
: 1966), and the other between 15 Nov 1961 and 29 Nov 1961.
: So these continue to be remarkable financial times we are
: living through.
