The dow inching closer to correction territory coming off its worst week since 2011 including the 530point fall on friday. Well get jim cramers take in a moment. First, whatle exactly is a Market Correction . It occurs when values decline 10 or more, stopping an upward trend. Many analysts believe a correction fixes an over priced or inflated market bringing prices down to their actual value. For some it is an opportunity to get into market that may have been been out of reach. Their buying pushes prices back up and stops the correction. A correction usually lasts less than two months, preventing a huge prolonged selloff or a bubble burst, similar to what happened in 2000. While Market Corrections typically happen every 18 months, the last one was nearly four years ago. Jim cramer is the host of kwoez mad money on cnbc. Good morning, matt. A 530point sell off. People thought the weekend would calm things down but its not looking so good. No. This started in china. I have to call it a crash. There is no short way to put it. There is a tremendous decline coming from china and we are importing it. Just explain why that impacts us dramatically here. First of all, i think what happened is we are all connected, we know that. Second, china is the second largest economy in the world. There is no avoiding it. We are stronger than they are. Were the strongest we have been. We used numbers when we last had a correction. We are much better off. You said something to our produce overnight. The great myth is that the stock market always reacts rationally. It doesnt always. Right. Given that, is it reacting rationally now . We are going to get a 7 to 12 decline. If its like the last three times we imported the problems from overseas. Yes, thats over reaction because gasoline will be down. The dollar will go down. Thats important. Interest rates will be on holdle if the Federal Reserve pays attention. If we get to an official correction of 10 how do we know if its just that . What are the signs it could go longer and deeper . We have to see a spike in unemployment which is unlikely. We have to see Interest Rates and inflation go higher which is off the table and we have to see a banking crisis which is inconceivable. One of the other things you have said on the show, nobody has ever made a dime panicking. Right. Having said that, what should the average investor do in this process . On friday, 403 of the 500 stocks in the s p were up versus two years ago. If you have big profits there is nothing wrong with taking some off the table. It will be a bad today, probablile a bad week. If you have no stock, if you are looking to put some money to work for your retirement account, by the end of the day you should make a move today. Good advice, jim cramer. Savannah . Matt, thank you. Now to the president ial race and a question on minds this morning. Is Vice President joe biden inching closer to a run . A weekend meeting this weekend only serving to fuel speculation. Nbc National CorrespondentPeter Alexander has more on this. Good morning. You. This is the story electrifying democrats. Joe biden, according to his team, making a lastminute trip to d. C. To meet with a woman many liberals wanted to run against Hillary Clinton and the wall street journal is saying biden is leaning toward a run if he can mount a competitive bid. Neither Vice President biden nor Elizabeth Warren had to be seen for the message to be heard. An hourlong private lunch at the vps residence. The surest sign yet biden the weighing a 2016 run. Are you ready to fight. Reporter warren, a darling among progressives may be the second most prominent woman trailing Hillary Clinton. Shes been lukewarm about clintons campaign. Most recently during an interview in boston. Was it a mistake for your party to anoint her as the candidate early on . I dont think anybody has been anointed. Reporter biden and war rep discussed policy issues important to progressives and touched on both parties primary campaigns with biden making it clear he was seriously considering a bid of his own. Still, he didnt directly ask warren for her support. It has nothing to do with me. Reporter with clinton fending off allegations about her use of her private email this poll shows 37 of voters find her honest and trustworthy. 57 dont. Bidens numbers are the opposite with nearly 6 in 10 saying they trust the vp. Some democrats think a biden challenge could benefit clinton. Shes a terrible frontrunner. Shes a marvelous candidate in the middle of the race. Reporter bidens aides said hed make a decision by the end of summer, that deadline couldle slide. Most agree if he chooses to run biden would have to do it in time for the first democratic debate october 13. A longtime democratic strategist says bidens team understands his best chance to successfully enter the race is to be effectively drafted, welcomed with open arms by the party where he would be seen as a party savior, not a spoiler. Savannah . Thank you. Chuck todd is the political director for nbc and moderator of meet the press. Good morning. Biden really, really wants to run, looking for a path, a way to get in. Exactly. Looking for a rationale. You dont leak out the Elizabeth Warren meeting, gather meetings. He wants to run. He doesnt want to lose. He doesnt want to do it to say he ran a third time. But hes looking for a way in and to peters point, hes looking for a ground swell. Its not there yet. The hope in leaking out the warren meeting is to send a message to progressives, we focus on Hillary Clinton but there is another person in the race doing well, Bernie Sanders and its the liz wet warren wing thats going well. Maybe shell be a running mate type of thing could create a ground swell. Telling progressives i could be the one. I could be your guy. Seems like the end of summer deadline is slipping. Is he stalling to see if there is another shoe to fall with Hillary Clinton . No. Hes trying to put together a campaign. They have been making a lot of calls. I talked to people and theres been outreach to whether its donors, strat ji egists in key states. This is expensive. He has to use a government plane. He has air force 2. The down side, he has air force 2 and he has to pay for it. The deadline of october, the first democratic debate is set for october 13. He has to decide. President obama. Hes studiously avoided it so far. Hes on vacation for the last two weeks but hes back today. He can avoid a shouted question today, maybe tomorrow. At some point hell Say Something. Privately hes been very supportive of the idea. Hes not told biden yes or no he should run. They have their weekly lunch today the president and Vice President. Le the president has to Say Something at some point. Thank you very much. A Louisiana State trooper is fighting for his life after being shot in the head during a traffic stop.
