After several wild market sessions, the Dow Jones industrial average on Tuesday swung in a 640-point range. The Dow collapsed 600 points the day prior, but is there really something hideously wrong with the market? Is the market getting these moves right?

A lot of people have been asking these questions, Cramer said on "Mad Money." Many people are even making comparisons to the 1987 stock market crash.
