Definition: A stock market crash is when stock indexes lose more than 10% in a day or two. The broad indexes are the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, and the NASDAQ. The rapidity of the decline differentiates it from a stock market correction. That's a 10% loss over days, weeks or even months.
