Every year since 1980 there has been a market pullback

I just wanted to say that sell-offs are a fact of (investor) life. In every year going back to 1980, there was a market pullback. On average, the market experienced a 13% decline each time. In the years when the S&P did experience a double-digit decline, 13 of those 21 times—or 62% of the time—the market ended the year with a positive return. Stay the course!
