Greed, When Others Are Fearful, Is Good

What I've learned over my 25 years of stock market investing is that it appears the bulls and bears work within 5 year cycles, looking back over the past 20 years (S&P 500/charts) beyond the 1987 market crash...

Approximately every 5 years or so the market rises and turns and it falls... (because of a variety of reasons), and from what I've observed this cycle hasn't changed just different circumstances... therefore if disiplined investors followed the wave of the 5 year cycle, how can you go wrong???

1988 - 1994 Bear Market (get out of long stock positions)
1995 - 2000 Bull Market (invest in long stocks)
2001 - 2003 Bear Market (get out of long stock positions)
2003 - 2008 Bull Market (invest in long stocks)
2008 - ? Bear Market (how long will this downdraft last?)

Is the Bear Hibernating Already? Doubtful

We americans invested in the US Markets are doomed!

Joseph Foster...

I agree with your post, you are spot on, in-my-humble-opinion.....

If only I'd acted on my suspicion (which are the same as yours) I'd be laughing all the way to the Bank as well... instead I've been crying and whining for the past 8 months......

As you've mentioned: The real estate/stock market/bubble cycle will again repeat itself within the next few years, I will be ready!!!
