That could be determined, statistically. I'd say the odds are similar. Probably about 10-1.

The odds of 3 down years in a row are much better than 4 in a row, no doubt. Probably between 3-1 & 4-1. So the bears beat the odds on that one. And, sure they COULD beat the odds again. I'm just saying that probability is actually quite LOW. Not HIGH, as you are suggesting.

I don't think we have a large enough sample of 11+ rate cuts to figure any probabilities on that- I think it has only happened once or twice.
