And with recent losses, the following bearish milestones have been satisfied: The Dow industrials have notched a 22.8% year-to-date loss. The Nasdaq has posted a 16.2% year-to-date loss. The S&P 500 has notched a 22.5% year-to-date loss. Last month marked the S&P's worst February since 1933, with the index posting a 10.9% monthly loss. The Dow is down 38% across the past six months, marking its worst six-month span since 1932, when it plunged 41%. Combined, January and February marked the U.S. markets' worst first two months on record. The Dow and the S&P both hold at less than half their record highs established 17 months ago. So just at a glance, the details above are about as bearish as it gets. marketwatch.com
