Fair? Let's be fair and acknowledge his comments a few months ago about a major collapse did not happen. Or for that matter, a year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago.
We’ll see how it works out for you mellon man.

All will be revealed in the fullness of time. A 60% drop doesn’t happen in a single trading session, it takes weeks or months. I don’t pretend to know what the future holds, but the recent past contains a 10% drop that either is or isn’t the start of a bear market.

You're about as noncommittal as Igy. Thanks for your insight.

Fair enough. What is your non-noncommittal forecast?

I'm smart enough not to make one. No one can consistently predict what will happen with the markets. It's a fool's errand to try to predict it.

Well, I guess enormous thanks is also due you for the brilliance you just shone at us.

Look at the graph for S&P 500. A sharp rise of about 10% in one month leading to the recent high, followed by a sharp drop of about 10% in about a month before it recovered over 3% to it's current level. Does that sound like the start of a bear market or does it sound like an exuberant market that might have gotten a little ahead of itself and sold off a portion of its recent gains?

Wait. Aren’t you the same guy who posted that graph that John Hussman completely misinterpreted?
I’m not sure if you just have an affinity for writers who don’t know what they’re talking about, or if you’re trolling.
No, your the guy with his head up where the sun don’t shine.

That's not smart. It's cowardly. You refuse to make any predictions and then attack others after the fact.
P^ssy.

Trolling is the right answer.
Might be time to get out of the market now.
Looks like the Israel Firster Neocons are going to get America into a war with Iran.
