By the way, let's try to keep politics out of this. Anyone who ties short term market behaviors to current politics simply doesn't know what they're talking about.
Just thinking out loud about "Corrections", which I generally classify as a short-term drop of 10% or more, and very healthy for markets:
While researching some other stuff this morning, I singled out the last four Corrections and their amounts:
Also interesting is that four year stretch without a Correction. Markets may be returning to a more normal state after the Meltdown. It took a long time after the Depression, too.
Haven't really thought this all the way through, but interesting to see the numbers and time frames.
