Mild correction noted amid market volatility
Matthew Frankel explains that recent moves resemble a correction rather than a crash. He compares 1987 and 2008 crashes to current declines, defines a 10 percent drop as a correction, and notes the Dow's fall of about 7.2 to 10.4 percent amid a long bull run. He urges calm and long term focus.
