MGJ: Re: "Would be a bear market?...not by Bob's definition. Bob categorizes it as giving back gains made during the year and nothing more and basically states the 5% made in the S and P Index that year made the year no big deal."

Generally, there is also the issue of duration in a bear market. In other words, a true bear market requires that a given index trade at 20% or greater below the peak for 6 to 24 months.
