4 Value Stocks to Buy if the Stock Market Crashes
It may not be this week, this month, or even this year, but history tells us that stock market crashes are far more common than investors realize.
Data from market analytics firm Yardeni Research shows that the widely followed S&P 500 has undergone 38 crashes or corrections of at least 10% since the beginning of 1950. That works out to a double-digit downside move every 1.87 years, on average. And it just so happens that the S&P 500's Shiller price-to-earnings ratio is higher now than it's been in nearly two decades.
