6. Just Curious..

..Are you saying this with some econ background or is this wishful thinking\fear mongering?

All the reports I read and analysts that I chat with predict an upswing in the next year as the market corrects itself.

8. It's from what I read

and what I have decided for myself will be. I see the market low of 5800.

2. Wow. OTOH, if you look at 1929 + 1930 + 1931

you get about a 90% loss over the three years. Were not there yet, but this thing isn't over so let's see what happens. :(

4. Great visual - wish someone would have colored it to reflect D or R

Presidencies

9. Yes, but, take a look at the recovery: 1933, 35, 36, 38.

It reinforces the view that if you have a strong stomach and can manage to stay invested several years out, there will be a reward.
