Mark Hulbert: The Stock Market Is Overdue For A One-Day 5% Or 10% Plunge

FYI: Today is the anniversary of the 1987 stock-market crash, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 22.6%.

Think again. On Oct. 19, 1987 — 31 years ago today — the Dow DJIA, +0.12% plunged 22.6%. It was the worst stock-market crash in U.S. history. An equivalent percentage drop today would cause the Dow to skid more than 5,700 points.
