With the Nasdaq Composite in correction territory, investors should consider investing some cash in the stock market. Corrections are defined as a decline of 10% from an all-time high, but they occur fairly often (just over every year since 1980).

The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) started this week tumbling 4% on Monday -- the index's worst day since September 2022 -- and is still 12.5% off its all-time highs after today's trading session.
