It's more that what happens to the Dow day-to-day or even week-to-week is not really relevant to most people, even the ones with 401(k)s since it's about what happens in the long term when you're worried about retirement.
So a single day major point drop? It's really not a big deal to anyone but the investor class.
Now if this is the start of a long-term trend, that's another issue. But we can't possibly know that yet.

The stock market has been surging at the drop of any rumor or data point that would indicate the fed will drop interest rates for two years.
Suddenly economic data pops up that might indicate conditions for an interest rate drop are forming and the market shits itself?
IMO the market got fat over the summer. Now that the institutional investors are getting back from vacation season they are profit taking ahead of the EOQ.
