Adjustment is not a pay raiseHi Absolutely not. The market is the Stock Market, and an "adjustment" in the market is little more than a euphemism to explain away a radical change in something like the Dow Jones Industrials. Suppose the Dow is at 1200 and it drops to 950 in 3 hours. Then it could be explained away because at 1200 the Dow was unnaturally and unrealistically high; too high to sustain itself, so it "adjusted itself" to a "proper value" of 950. Unless you own stock that is wiped out in one of these little adjustments, or the company you work for is suddenly worthless and can no longer buy parts on credit, you could probably go your entire life without knowing or caring about a stock market adjustment, while a pay raise is something that should be immediately and personally noticeable as it is in your pay packet.

Consider one stock. Consider the asset value of the company, its net profit/yr, the amount of stock issued and the value per share of the stock. There is more but that's enough to illustrate a real adjustment. When a company has sustained the value of the stock with good, trusted values of "the other things", the stock price can expect to be stable, or better yet, stabling rising or producing dividends.

When the values of "the other things" changes to not good or not trusted, a previously valued stock may become overvalued and is at risk of an adjustment.

Apply this to the overall market and you may see a market adjustment. An adjustment can represent fear or a reality check. -tmwmott
