Interpretation of secular bear market
Yep interpretation is everything. One can choose the time period to validate their arguments.
You say Dow is in a 7 year secular bear market, I say Dow is in a 4 year secular bull market after a 3 year bear market, some say gold in 27 year bear market, Dow in 25 year bull market etc etc.
Interesting re TRS - great stock but very illiquid. No problem moving $10K worth but what if you bought $1M at IPO and/or accumulated $1M over the time since the IPO? Ditto housing, you have to wait months to try and sell if things go sour, or have a fire sale. And this correction has only lasted 4 weeks!!!
Also interesting to compare this correction vs a similar credit crunch episode in 1998 (LTCM/Russian debt crisis). Market retreated 17% but recovered its losses within 5 months. The 1998 correction started around the same time of year too.
