Fencer disqualified from tournament after refusing to face an opponent she says is transgender

I just looked at the correlation between recessions and bear markets. Since 1955 we have had 10 bear markets in the S&P. We have also had 10 recessions in that time period. Nine of those had a recession that occurred at the time of the bear market. In most cases the bear market occurred shortly before recession started.

The only times that the bear market and the recession didn't coincide was the bear market in 1966 which lasted only a few months and the 2020 recession which didn't see a bear market.

The S&P is currently down about 16% off its high. We could enter bear market territory next week unless Trump revokes his tariffs.

Thanks. Your analysis coincides closely with that of my own financial guru and adviser and wealth manager, Mr. Owl. He says that we're just fine and we'll ride it out like we did in 2008 and 2020. He says our kids (ages 37 - 59) will be okay too. But those approaching retirement age might be in real trouble, depending on how they invested their retirement funds. Your take on that? I'm wondering if the drop isn't due to panic selling by those closing in on retirement.

I agree with Mr Owl that it all depends on how those approaching retirement age are invested. If they followed the standard advice and have the majority of their savings in safer investments they should be OK but will lose 5-10% with a 20% drop in the stock market. (The standard investment advice has been your age should match the percentage invested in safer investments.)

Most people aren't invested in individual stocks enough to make that big of a change in prices if they panic and sell. It's more likely caused by the institutional investors which includes 401K managers selling and not buying.

Yes. Another way to look at the market downturn is that it's a sale on stocks.
 
I've never voted for a Democrat.... That being one of the reasons...;)

No, it's because you are a knee-jerk puppet who has little to no understanding of either local or national issues. I've voted for (R)s when their policies coincided with mine, esp. at the local level. I've been voting since I was 18. The only time I ever voted straight (D) ticket was in 2020. Otherwise it's trying to choose the right individual for the right position.
