“From 1900 to 2013, the US stock market experienced 123 “corrections” (a 10% or greater drawdown) – an average of more than one per year! The more dramatic losses that are the hallmark of a bear market occur only slightly less frequently, averaging one every 3.5 years.” –Daniel Crosby, The Behavioral Investor.
