How much longer will this bear market go on for?

ChesterDog

I think we should compile a book of Type 45 quotations.

We could include a section of 45-esque sayings that other people have created in the same vogue, rather like an Internet meme.

A small competition, in which readers have to guess if a given statement of unrelenting, eternal, existential doom is the genuine work of the master himself, or that of an impostor, might be in order.

I'm new to this thread, and all I see is one user spamming it with bad news highlights and selectively cropped graphs, the gist of which seems to be that markets have been on a downward trend for a bit.  Am I missing something?

There is no escape. He does go quiet when the markets rally... until they dip again.

I see, thanks.  Like a weather forecaster only telling me about yesterday's weather.  Very helpful.

To be fair to the poster they make predictions

80% stock market drop by end 2022 was one for example

Other examples are:

US, UK, Europe and China recessions.

That the summer rally was a bear market rally.  (I was advised that not buying the June low was the "biggest financial mistake of my life". We are now well below the June low).

And plenty more besides.

Though neither am I predicting that I won't be.

I'm 8.2% up in September.

That graph looks very familiar.....have you hacked me?....

The sudden and dramatic drop at the end of Sept strangely coincides with the announcement of Mr Kwarteng's mini-budget, but I've been assured by senior members of government and the treasury that this is purely coincidental and was actually caused by global factors.....

I think you might have said, but where are you relative to the start of the year?

Been over this before.  You'll have to read back, or wait until my book comes out.

It makes comparisons a bit pointless when you add in your earnings to the figure.
