Justa,

>>>
May 1970 - Market declined 36% in a major bear market. It then
went up over 50% in the next 11 months.

December 1974 - Following a 45% bear market, the market went up 52% in the next seven months.

February 1978 - There was a 27% decline in the DOW, followed by a
22% rally in six months.

August 1982 - Following a 24% DOW decline, there was a 65% 10 month rally.

July and September 1986: We had two corrections of about 7.5% and 8.0% corrections, followed by 55% in 11 months.

October 1990 - We had a 21% slide which was partially related to
fears about Iraq, we had a 68% run in the next 39 months.

1994 - We had a triple bottom. April - 9.7% decline; small pullback
in June; November - 7% pullback followed by a 92% rise in the next
28 months.

According to Brinker: " Off presidential election years have almost with scary regularity produced buying opportunities."

Great post. A great reminder for long term investors about possible opportunities that might be forthcoming.

Personally, I think after Bob calls the next bear market I think his greatest feat will be having people re-enter the market for substantial profits at a time when everyone thinks hell is about to freeze over.

Buy when others are fearful.
