Don't want to hijack the thread, but I also notice this and wonder if maybe one of the longer time investors could comment on whether this more concerted movement of the whole market has always been the case. Things do seem to move in lockstep with "global" news, with oil prices, and most especially with news of a possible rate rise by the Fed. That last is the scariest of all -- the idea that a sign of a recovering US economy would be taken as negative for stocks adds to the feeling that the current market is in a bubble predicated on the availability of mountains of cheap liquidity....I'm noticing that individual shares move in line with the whole market eg if the s&p500 drops 3% most individual shares drop between 1-4% , for some reason I would have expected that not to be the case , I would have expected more shares to be up and down , but that could be just the climate we are in at the moment where the whole stock market is just dropping on China news . (sorry I'm waffling on!) but my point was in gathering more confidence that eventually i may go the direct share route instead of index investing .
