Everyone Is Upset About the Markets

Oh no. A 5 percent correction. Excuse me if I think 5 percent isn't a lot to get upset about. Black Monday: Definition in Stocks, What Caused It, and Losses

Black Monday occurred on October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) lost 22.6% in a single day. The event marked the beginning of a global stock market decline, and Black Monday became one of the most notorious days in financial history. The S&P 500 lost even more than the Dow Jones with a 30% loss on the day.

As long as the .gov doesn't get in the way, the market will bounce back.

Does 5 percent even count as a bear market?

And be clear. The markets are not the economy.

And let's also be clear... this is what a market crash looks like.
