Oops, forgot one.......
(4) If you look at the return for the S&P 500 for the years after we suffer a major decline (ex. great depression, which I believe is NOT on the table) of more than 20% you see pretty decent returns.
1937 -32%
1938 +17%
1974 -26%
1975 +38%
2002 -22%
2003 +28%
For 2008 we were down 37%. And for 2009 we are just now even. This rally could be substantial and have quite a way more to go.
