Today’s Chart of the Day from Carson Investment Research shows the 35 major “bad news” events in the stock market going back to 1900. It works out to about one every three and a half years. During that time, the Dow Jones Index went from 50 to 40,000. This gives us perspective that the market may go down in the short-term, but even with major events, the market recovers. Remember the old saying, “It’s not timing the market, it’s time in the market.”
