Brace for more volatility in the week ahead as investors wrestle with dual concerns that stocks have gotten too pricey and that the economic recovery is just too uncertain.
Stocks start November on wobbly footing, after the past week's selling helped erase October's gains and pushed the S&P 500 to its first monthly loss since March.
The Dow fell 2.6 percent for the week, finishing at 9712 but it was a half percent higher in October. The S&P 500, at 1036, was down nearly 2 percent for the week and 4 percent for the month, ending a run of 7 monthly gains.

I've noticed that for at least 10 yrs, financial news outlets have used the word "volatility" to describe a market drop. In their minds, stocks markets are always, always, supposed to go up.

Yes, another euphemism born in the last decade.

The $5 gain on the VIX in one day last week was alarming to say the least.
