The Anatomy of a Market Correction.
Markets are rarely a straight march forward.
Even though the end destination is usually a bullish one, markets often take a far more scenic route to get there. Sometimes that means going
off the beaten path, and other times it may mean taking a step directly backwards to get reoriented.
In investing parlance, the latter situation can be described as a market correction: a short-term duration market move between -10% and -20%.
These are significant declines that can be a “gut check” for investors, especially for those who haven’t experienced many of them in their
investing careers.
