Investors shouldn’t expect a smooth ride when they put money in the stock market.

However, it’s worth noting that these bouts of volatility aren’t just about sharp selloffs. They also come with massive rallies.

Two cool charts hit my inbox in the past few days that I thought captured market volatility over short and long periods of time.
