Can the U. S. and European markets avoid bear markets while much of the world is in a bear market and can the major U. S. indices avoid bear markets when several sectors and the RUT are in bear markets?

Sure. The strongest stocks, sectors, markets, countries always fall last, if the do. That RUT happens to be off 20% is no big deal. If SPX drops 20% off its high, RUT will be off 40%, and the street will be littered with small- and mid-caps that are down 50% or more.

RE: "can the major U. S. indices avoid bear markets when several sectors and the RUT are in bear markets?"

What will happen if "the major U.S. indices" go into bear markets? Will the sectors and individual stocks which are already in bear markets of their own turn around and move higher as money rotates out of "the major U.S. indices" and into these stocks? Will it be like 1994?

Best wishes,
