We will all need to watch out for the bear market rallies. They can be deadly for wiping out ones trading capital, or if you are a long term investor tying you into investments that are under water.Phong Tran wrote: Mon Aug 01, 2022 5:25 pmAh, ok, I think I understand. I think I was trying to figure out why it would be a longer peak to trough only and thought that it should be steeper so was confused. Since we've never really seen a proper bear market, or at least one that wasn't rescued by the fed, I suspect there's going to be a lot of bear market rallies in this one as lots of investors and money on the side buy into the dips and newer lows, which will make it even more drawn out then one would expect in normal market conditions.richard5za wrote: Mon Aug 01, 2022 3:29 am Phong, over last 120 years P/E ratio is highly influenced by over bought markets and bubbles. Markets get over bought, P/E ratio is very high, and then market corrects, P/E ratio comes down, but without a recession earnings need not change, might even go up. However, in a recession earnings go down. So now there is a double effect, and yes might go down faster and further than non recession corrections. The point I was making is that recessionary bears last longer because of the time it takes to rebuild earnings. Play with the arithmetic of PEratio = Price/Earnings. Bring down PE and see price drop. Then additionally reduce earnings and see what happens to PEratio. Hope this explains.
