Whatever you say.... people don't know exactly when a bear starts or ends. What tech group do you think is performing well right now as a percentage of the whole? Trust me, I'm totally aware of what a bear market is. I'm being specific in saying that we are having problems in the tech sector. This could drag out until 1999. Is that a bear market or correction. When did it start, how far down and finally, does anyone really care? Generally, it's too short for a bear, we should probably call it a painful, drawn-out correction. Aloha

Bull Lynch has coined what I thought interesting; 1. "Papa Bear" (1929-duration: 25 yrs to Break Even from 1929 hi) 2. "Momma Bear" (1973-1974-duration: 12yrs to BE) 3. 1982 Bear 4. Crash of 1987 (508 Dow drop in 1 day-big deal,esp then) 5. "Saddam Hussein Bear (1990) In the text "correction" was approx 10% drop from most recent high, 53 this Century or once every 2 yrs. "Bear" was 25% or more, once every six yrs approx. Of course a bear has to be a correction first by definition. Now that is what Peter Lynch says, other people may think different, hopefully not too differently. CG ref: Learn to Earn; Lynch & Rothchild, Simon & Schuster(1995) pg 198
