We're in a
bear market, it's just not officially
acknowledged yet. You know, just like a lot of
times you know they don't acknowledge
the recession until after you have two
quarters of negative GDP growth but
clearly you're in the recession for a
long time before it's officially
admitted.
There's
one caveat if the Federal Reserve comes
in and changes the game by taking away
the rate hikes or launching QE 4 then we
may never make it to a bear market. But
if the Federal Reserve continues on its current path
and maintains the current pretense then
we are in a bear market and it's only a
question of time before it is officially
acknowledged.
