Correction or crash:

Herb Greenberg from 14 april thestreet.com

<<If a correction is 10% and a bear market is 20%, what constitutes an all-out crash? By 1987 standards, the number is 36% -- in other words, two percentage points away on the Nasdaq (which, ironically, has become the market!)



For the Nasdaq that would be 3225 from its high of 5048 on March 10.>>

Given that the nasdaq closed at 3321 that is not very far away!


((On October 19, 1987, the Dow suffered the worst one-day crash in history[before Friday April 14, 2000, that is, in overall point terms], dropping 508 points to 1738.74. The value of securities crumbled by more than half a trillion dollars. The total drop for October was 769 points. In sheer value, the point and dollar declines were greater than the crash of 1929, although the '29 crash was greater in terms of percentage. The day became known as "Black Monday."))
