FACTS INSTEAD OF FEAR

In a separate post, we compared 2018 to numerous plunge periods in history (1955, 1987, 1998, 2000, 2007, 2011, and 2015).

Having studied markets for years, we can confidently say the data we have in hand in 2018, on multiple timeframes, looks almost nothing like the data we had in hand before plunges in 2000 and 2007.  The most similar periods are 1955, 1987, 1998, 2011, and 2015.

Therefore, it might be helpful to better understand what happened after the plunge was over in the five similar cases.  Did stocks tank or did they find their footing and produce positive returns.  The data speaks for itself.
