Thanks, Tony. It's a good thing to have it written down. I reckon that Bob thinks that 20% is the start of a bear market. 10% is a normal correction. So, I presume that 10% - 20% is an "intermediate" correction. I further suppose that that means we are still about 8% from a bear on the Dow and S&P, and closer on the Naz? jim

<< a bear market, defined by him as declines on the market (S&P 500?) of 20 to 50%>> What happens if S&P500 drops MORE than 50% - does it become "tiger market"? -g- PS. Looks like Bob is the product of the '70s to 1982 - all these ingredients are based on the seventies experience, but there were bear markets in every single decade for more than 200 years of American markets.
