Francis Bacon said; “As in nature things move violently to their place and calmly in their place…”. It seems that Mr. Bacon understood the stock market very well. Stocks tend to move calmly, gently, listlessly in their trading ranges and then they move violently into trends. A tipping point between supply and demand is achieved and listlessness morphs into activity. In the gentleness of a quiet and boring market the seeds of change are sown.
