Well done Eddie, you've conveniently changed the subject. See your post below: Message 5687339 I agree with you that you should look at why a correction occurred but that was not your original point to which I was replying. To my understanding, if the DOW corrects 20%...we are in a BEAR market. You're right when you say an economic slowdown and Bear Market usually coincides; however, this does not need to be always the case Others, such as Jim Kelly and Lee pointed out to you that there was more to a definition of a bear market that you suggested: Message 5682388 You asked what those factors were: Jim Kelley seems to implying that other criteria are needed (besides to 20%) are needed to make a "Bear market". I want to know what they are...if they exist. I do not profess to know, but I did want to know if you factored duration into your definition. You misunderstood, then you changed the subject. Furthermore, how was I claiming that markets go down for no apparent reason? I was simply using the numbers to show how narrow a definition it was that you were using. Of course there is a reason for the drop. Not necessarily rational but a reason/reasons nevertheless. We were not discussing the reason. Look at your question again (I have conveniently pasted it above for you). Is this clear enough for you?
