What is market crash?
A sudden and steep fall in share prices across the whole market.
Explained in more detail
Crashes are part of investing, not an exception to it. The main decision they demand is whether your original reason for owning something has changed, not whether the screen is red.
An example
For instanceA 10% fall across a few days after an unexpected global event.
