2008 Market Crash Chart
Have a look at this 100 year (actually, 105-Year) chart. I colored each “Market” appropriately — Green for Bull, and Red for Bear — to more clearly show what happens.
Bull markets get ahead of themselves. At their ends, they tend towards excesses that take a very long while to recover from.

10 worst stock market crashes
Worst Stock Market Crash: 1930-1932
This is the grand daddy of them all. Investors lost 86% of their money over this 813 day beast. This market crash combined with the 1929 crash, makes up the Great Depression. In just two months, September and October, the stock market had lost 40 percent of its value. Black Tuesday usually marks the point where the Roaring 20’s ended and the Great Depression started. The stock market continued to fall until bottoming out in July of 1932. If you had $1000 on 3 September 1929, it would have been worth only $108.14 (89.2% loss) by July 8th, 1932. Full recovery of this loss didn’t occur until 1954, 22 years later!

200 Year Old Chart
The above is a 200 year history of US stocks with yearly Hi-Lo-Close bars all adjusted for BLS inflation rates. As is easily visible on a log scale chart, stocks stay within a consistent channel through its entire history. Each time it touches or pierces the upper channel, eventually it moves to the lower channel, and vice versa. There is even a higher channel line (orange) that has only been touched in 1929, 2000, and 2007. The lowest channel line (orange) has only been touched in 1813 and 1982. The 1900-1906 double touch was followed by a bear market through 1920. The current 2000-2007 double touch may follow a similar pattern. My target is actually 2016-2018. Even the 1906 bear market initially came down to the centerline, bounced up, and then fell through several years later. I expect the same to happen this time around with my target no later than 2012 — but maybe we are already there…
