[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 1806565, member: 4656"] 1877-1906 bull +334% 1906-1921 bear -69% 1921-1929 bull +396% 1929-1932 bear -81% 1932-1937 bull +266% 1937-1949 bear -54% 1949-1968 bull +413% 1968-1982 bear -63% 1982-2000 bull +666% 2000-2009 bear -59% 2009- ? bull Edited to add overall gain or loss during each timeframe. (I ran out of time this morning) Gains are higher during bull markets than losses during bear markets because bull markets typically last much longer than a bear market. I would personally rather invest during bear markets and end up with thousands of more shares because they're cheaper. Look above and think about the lucky guy who worked from 1968-1982 during the longest bear market. I bet he didn't feel lucky until the next bull market when he watched his portfolio gain 666%. Think about all those old supes who where given UPS stock at $30 their entire career - I don't think they're suffering now. [/QUOTE]
