Carl: That was true for me both in 1982 and 1990. Both times there was double-digit unemployment and high interest rates. The top of a bull market coincides with low interest rates and full employment that creates surplus money needing a place to go.
The layoff notices will undoubtedly be flooding the Valley this week. :(

RE: "In other words, the time to buy is when you don't have any
money you can risk buying stocks with."

I believe that you are 100% correct with the above statement - at least in my case. In 1974, I knew the market was attractive, but, as you indicate, I didn't have any money I could risk buying stocks with. I had money and purchased stock in late October 1987; that's how I know the "87 Crash" wasn't a true bear market.

Best wishes,

I2
