Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

First five days... not a big "N" in the study, but the 8 years after the 20% or more losses were 8 for 8 in the positive. Very impressive.

That is always the problem with quantifying "recessions" or Bears...

in a hundred years you only get about 8.

It's also why "economists" are not scientists... Just not enough data.

but even in 0% years it's 22 for 6..

I'd have to look a little closer, I wonder if the '0' is all non positive years or if it's all years Zero to -10% or if the 0 is all years Zero to -30
