How low will we go?
So it's a wicked bear market, but how low will the S&P 500 and Dow Jones go? The final target remains to be seen, but one target is easy to predict. We will re-test the lows of the last bear market set in 2002-2003. For the S&P 500, that means 800 and for the Dow Jones that means 7500.
We will probably reach these targets by the end of next summer, so we're talking about a 30% or so loss in the next year. Are you prepared?
Markets and cycles are my passion. Let others preach "buy and hold" common stocks forever. My buy and hold recommendation for this decade is physical Gold, the free market's "real" money.
