@ Nobody,
I have some other charts that I use -- and I hate to tell you this, but I just pulled up "IWM" ...
It looks like it's going down more to me.
Full Disclosure:
U better check w/ some other peeps here .. 'cuz I DON'T trade and I haven't been in the market since 2018.
I bot some TSLA last month and sold it the next day.
Really, at this point in my life, I'm not a "player" anymore.
Frankly, my judgment is better when I'm not in the market. LOL!

I've been in the markets since the '70's.
Having participated in ALL bear markets since 1987, frankly, if I had my life to live over again --
Personally, I'd stick with Real Estate.

karen,
Kudos to you. You are a smart businesswoman.
Smart money pendulum swings from Wall Street to Main Street, then Main Street to Wall Street.
Since you've been in the markets since the 1970s and have participated in all bear markets
since 1987, just off the top of your head, was it true that:
1. US stock markets have tended to dive heading toward presidential election November months
2. Bull markets generally lasted about 7 to 9 years, and bear markets lasted about 6 months to
30 months.
At the end of the bear markets, stock prices might have given up 5 years of previous gains.
The peaks of the following bull markets then climbed above the previous bull market peaks.
With a long enough time frame, SP500 buy and holders are still better off if they are
not caught with bad personal circumstances in a bear market.
Was any of the above generally true?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

@ Cheese,
It's been a long day and a late nite out for me ...
I'd have to google the answers 'cuz I'm too lazy to think about it.
ROFLMAO!
No point in doing that!
Same reason why I'm NOT in the market and haven't been since 2018.
Too lazy to worry about it.
Retirement will do that to ya'.
Some days, I just don't give a sh*+.
Hahaha!
I'll be back tomorrow when I can muster up some enthusiasm.
Sweet dreams, everyone.
:>)

@karennma,
You've already retired but you like macro economics and the markets, so this is just for general interests:

concerning the testing , on the Cuomo prime time show a dr. bernheim was interviewed ,he showed cat scans of people with the virus, there were clear clouds on the perimeter of the lungs, if this was a TV show or a movie , the fda or cdc would be using this tech, not our system.
still think we have good healthcare system?

This is ridiculous.
For peeps who just want to "buy & hold", there's nothing.
There's no correction, so, you can't buy cheap.
Another trap to buy high and then try to sell higher.
Makes no sense.
=====================================
Ahhhhh ... sigh of relief ...
Well, just think .... I don't have to be "p*ssed" anymore.
Had I kept my portfolio from 2018, ALL my profits would've evaporated by now.
