>>Bear markets are associated with recessions.

Take a look at Russia, Japan, Korea, Indonesia....is the US next? Why do you think investors are so nervous? Why do you think the market has already corrected over 10%.

>>Further, there is no evidence to bolster your claim about that it takes ten years to recover from a bear market.

Take a look at the historical data. It takes roughly 10 years for the market to recover. This of course does not even account for inflation. i just used 1970s to 1980s because it was the most recent.

>>I believe that we are seeing a slow motion replay of the October 1987 "bear" market.

So are you saying that in 10 years the DOW will be at 40,000? Maybe, but I doubt it. The last "correction" (not including the one were in now) was in 1990, i believe. The last bear market ended 1983..or was that 1982.

PSFT down 10% today, and it down over 50% from its highs. Heck...even CPQ didn't do this bad.
