OFFICIAL STOCK MARKET AND ECONOMY THREAD VOL. A NEW CHAPTER

Markets reversing after these corrections at much faster paces than years past.

Hard to look at data to compare from the 80s/90s/etc.

When was the last time we were in a prolonged bear market?
 
Prolonged is relative - 2022 though
I think people don't give the fed enough credit. They have figured it out. For better or for worse the days of the 15+ months down markets are prob gone. COVID lows lasted like a month, 2022 had 8 down months and 2023 had 8 up months.

I'm on market optimist island until I really see something that's prolonged. Something has to break and it really hasn't happened yet.
 
Def gotta give props to the Jerome and them boys. They did good, still tbd if its a soft/hard landing.

Every person in the world can buy a stock on their phone now too. Volume is much higher. Age of information. Unless unemployment sky rockets, people will just keep buying during every red month.
 
2010-2020 looks like healthy growth.

From March 2020-2024 we're up almost as much as the previous decade, in only 4 years.
 
I mean we can argue 2010-2020 was unhealthy relative to the 00s even if we exclude the Great Recession.

2000-2010 was a horrible time to be an investor based on the charts. SP500 down roughly a negative 20% that decade.

Feels like there were 2 major draw downs that decade.
