I think that the percent concept to determine bear/bull is an error.

How are the slopes doing these days?

If you determine bear/bull by the slope of, for instance, the 100 day simple moving average, that would give a much more meaningfull picture. Specially for the buy and hold type of folks.

Today most folks thing of a bull as a slope or trend while they think of a bear as a spike.

In other words, a real bear market is beyond the thought process of most traders and stock holders today.

Here's another longer term thought.

I think that it's correct to assume that there has been an impact on the market by the baby boomers getting ready for retirement.

What happins when the baby boomers do indeed retire? This would represent decades of liquidity being slowly removed from the market.
