    Happened in 2008, and the effect was global - hence "Global Financial Crisis" or GFC. The Dow bottomed out in the mid-6000s.
    That's not likely to happen this time, there hasn't been a major event like the sub-prime bubble bursting to trigger it. This is just a correction, as happened in '87.

    How far down will down go? Do you know? I have no dog in the fight. I got out of the stockmarket decades ago. I don't have the constitution for it. Thank you for your reply Sbf.
