For what it is worth, I started in business in 1963. Therefore, I have seen most of the bear markets of substance in the last 50 years. I must admit that my memory isn't quite as good as it used to be but this feels a bit more like the late 60's than 1973-74. At that time tech stocks like Digital Equipment were all the rage, sort of the way the Internet stocks are now. I seem to recall that from that point those kind of stocks did not make any progress for some years until the entire market crashed in 1973-74. I sympathize with those not seeing a catalyst for a bear market now, including low inflation and low rates, and wonder if we might just have a very frustrating time ahead for anyone long or short, and better relative performance of the smaller companies.
