Hi Eddie,..Re: The defintion of a bear market is a 20% correction from the top. In order for a bear market to exist usually there must be an accompanying economic slowdown. We are not experiencing adverse economic conditions and therefore, although one can term a 20% correction as a bear market, in reality it must happen concurrently with adverse economic conditions. Given that we still have a strong economy with falling interest rates and inflation, almost full employment and a very happy consumer, it's unlikely that anyone can label the current correction other than over-reaction to global events. (Unless they want to strictly stick with a number.) JMHO Lee
