FYI: Yes, this is scary.
Stock prices plunged again Friday and are down 8 percent in just two weeks, an unprecedented slide for a start of a year.
The vicious drops feel even more unsettling because they're such a departure from the placid and strong returns that investors had been enjoying for years. Like vacationers returning from a warm beach to a slushy commute to work, the shock of change is making something already painful even more so.
Now investors just need to get used to it, analysts say.
