Just as I would behave differently if a black bear or grizzly wandered into my campsite, so I believe the same behavior for bear corrections and secular bears is inappropriate.

What generally happens to an average (me !) investor is that he/she freezes when a bull approaches. Then when the bull (market) is gone and before the bear approaches, the average investor charges, assuming he is going after the bull. Now when he faces a bear, he retreats.

But the ltb&h doesnt have to make any decisions, whether approached by the bull or bear, and is perfect for the average investor. Of course the expert investor, if he can recognize the cycles, can in fact improve the returns greatly. However if he is wrong on the cycles, can lose his proverbial a@#.

And as Buckley says, over a very long time, we are always in a bull market.
