Divvie, I never misunderstood. I knew the point you were attempting to make from the very beginning. Its probably the same one that Kelly is thinking of and Lee as well. The only reason I replied with the stop of trading after a 10% correction was 1) to be a wise ass and 2) to give a stupid answer to a pretty stupid question. Don't fight the definition of a Bear Market. I didn't make it, and I realize that no definition is the best in all situations. However, as far as I know the definition of a Bear Market is a 20% correction from the top. Thus, besides the DOW index we are in a BEAR market. Plain and simple...there can be no argument. This was the orginal point of my argument. You want to see econimic recession...Anyone can argue about a global economic meltdown. If, however, there are other facets to the "Bear Market" definition I would like to know them. This is what I asked Kelley, yet as usually he has no answers. You, yourself, offered none except absurd examples that question the quality of the Bear Market defintion. That's nice...But that's not the original subject. You see, I never changed the subject...you're arguing the defintion of the Bear Market. I'm not.
