Dow hasn't dropped nine straight since Feb. 78'. The blue chip index has fallen 9 days in a row only 10 times in its history. 7 out of those 10 cases the 9th down day was followed by a 10th down day. Twelve is the longest losing streak on record that happened twice. 1941 and 1968.

The market is up 1.5%, on average, in the week following such epic slides. But has been .3% lower, on average, in the month following such declines and is down 1.5%, on average three months later.
