A Stock Market Correction Could Be Coming. Here's What 55 Years of Data Says to Do.

Yahoo Finance ·

The market is setting new record highs right now. It's up 18% from its late-March low and 47% above last April's bottom. For some, it's creating a feeling like the market is overdue for a correction (even if only minor) . That's especially true given many stocks' steep valuations at this time. What should investors do here? Well, doing nothing is a perfectly viable option. OK, most investors will want to do the obvious things like taking profits on their more ... "adventurous" trades that they never actually saw as long-term positions. For any stocks you bought as true "forever" holdings, however, your best course of action is arguably just riding out any potential storm. Researchers with brokerage firm Edward Jones crunched the numbers. Since 1970, the S&P 500 ( ^GSPC +0.61% ) has suffered 19 corrections of 10% or more without surpassing the bear market threshold of a 20% setback. The average decline lasted 4.3 months, and from peak to trough, the index fell 14.7%.
