In this episode of pplpod, we break down exactly what a market correction is—specifically, a drop of more than 10% in the value of a stock index. We explore how these financial events differ from bear markets, noting that corrections are historically shorter, sharper, and end once stocks attain new highs. Tune in for a look at historical trends, including the 2000s housing market correction and the recent S&P 500 decline in early 2025.
