The sheer speed and violence of the rebound in shares has been tough for some investors. But there’s a simple concept to help deal with what comes next.
It’s not the level of change that hurts in markets, but the rate of change.

According to data firm Bespoke Invest, Wall Street’s stunning rally since April 8 is the first time in 43 years that the S&P 500 has erased a 15 per cent year-to-date decline in under six weeks.
