(Scott Olson/Getty Images)There’s nothing like some furious stock market swings to tease average investors with thoughts of “How do I make money on this?”It sounds tempting, but most professional investors will warn you not to try this at home. People are calling the recent stock market volatility a correction. So the market is “correcting” the price to reflect a more accurate value, also referred to as fair value. If you are invested in the stock market, you should have a strong stomach that can tolerate its inevitable swings. Bonds are a good tool for diversification because they are generally not correlated with the stock market.
