The Bear Market in St. Louis
Everyone is complaining about the Bear Market in St. Louis. This chart illustrates that the market has seen tough times before and these times (while it feels like it won’t ever end) don’t last forever. You can see from the chart the severity of the worst bear markets and how the S&P 500 performed 1 year following the trough.
The graph shows in the first column, when the peak of the S&P was and how high it went, then in the next column, what the subsequent low point (or trough) was and then finally how much the market rebounded 1 year after the fall. Contributed by Greg Howell of citi Smith Barney.
