How much longer will this bear market go on for?

This would be an interesting poll to conduct on this forum:

Question:  Was June the "low"?


My guess is that most would say June was the low.

My guess is most would say they don't know.  It's certainly what I would say.

The poll would have a "don't know" option.

I wouldn't need to use it.  But it would be there.

The stock market is more akin to a snake eating its own tail rather than any real growth in the economies or productivity. We don't have a productive economy.

And that includes the "job gains" which are simply pre -2020 jobs coming back online. And these too will reverse.

You are able to put a poll in a new thread in order to test out your theory.

But what would be the point other than another mildly diverting thread for other posters to follow. Although i wouldn't be confident predicting stock market returns I think from posting history (although of course past performance is no indication etc....) I can pretty confidently predict the reaction to their poll. 


Agree with poster - evidence for poster that they are right

Disagree with poster - poster will ignore as they are right.

Don't know - poster will ignore as they know they are right.

I suppose it would be just another prediction that turns out to be incorrect, as I doubt a majority would claim markets won't fall lower than they did in June.

Well its all becoming a bit of a non event really. Global equities have barely moved in GBP terms since the start of the year and are in positive territory over the year. People seem so far quite willing and able to pay higher prices for their standard goods, considering the recent good results from various consumer staples companies.

Various central banks have managed to raise interest rates to a reasonable level without trashing the economy. UK GDP is growing. 

Anyway, back to the doom and gloom...

Not suggesting doom and gloom but my mortgage and heating costs will increase by at least £500/month from Oct. This will reduce my spending in other areas. I won't be the only one in this situation.
