When the market opened yesterday, the S&P 500 was down as much as 2.6%, leaving it 14.6% below December's highs. But then the selling stopped and the buying started. It picked up steam and was a full-blown panic by the end of the day. By the close, stocks had rallied 4.1% off the lows. If you're looking for signs of a bottom, the good news is that this is how they happen.

I spent some wonderful time with my grandchildren this week, some of it in very cold weather. Whatever the weather, I’m struck by how little children see the wonder in everything. As they get older, they want more entertainment. Adults, meanwhile, focus most on finding fault, usually in someone else. This week’s TBL focuses on confirmation bias.

So, stocks are falling. The major averages have officially entered correction territory. These types of declines shouldn't scare investors, and for the most part, they don't. Few people are worried about a correction. Most people are worried about a bear. "10 I can live with, 20 I want to avoid." Historical numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, but I do think it can help set baseline expectations.

The domestic and international stock markets have started 2022 with a level of volatility unseen for the past few years. The rather benign market conditions, over the last 10 years, have lulled investors into a false sense of security and normalcy that is anything but normal. .
