But as all bears that happened during the interval of your table (apart from the current one) were not longer than those 5 months I can't see what use it would have had since the start of your table in 2009 as it would have stayed "bullish" during the full time each of those 3 bears lasted.


While it would have been nice to successfully dodge out and back in to the market just before the drop and in at the bottom, it turns out each of those drops were short-lived and if you just stayed the course with your investment plan you were back up to prior highs in about a year or less.

My biggest mistake in the market has been correctly reading the tea leaves in Feb 2020 that the market was in for a serious drop and selling out ... only to sit on the sidelines as the market came roaring back and raced higher and higher highs. I'd have been far better off sticking with my prior allocation.

Jim's indicator may be useful to sidestep some part of the longer grinding bear markets not the quick dips.
