[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 2196809, member: 27108"] Assuming your number are correct. If on average a bear market recovers in 5 years. I wonder how "recovered" is define. Does that mean your at least back where you where, when the market was at it's high? Or does it mean, the market is starting a new up trend? Also, I'd have to assume they are talking about an average of 5 years from the "BOTTOM, just prior to the start of an up trend. A bear market can go for many years. It can also bounce on the bottom a few times before it starts that new uptrend. I'ts easily possible to be in a bear market for 10-20 years! Market turning bad when someone is 65, could be screwed into his 80's. Then when he's 80 and the market has bottomed, it could recover in 5 years. Now he's 85. the stat stating most bear markets recover in 5 years can be very misleading. [/QUOTE]
