But what else do you really need to know about Bear Market declines? Plenty...if you plan on keeping your Bull Market profits. It's not enough to make money in the Bull Market, that's actually the easy part as anyone can profit from a Bull Market. It is critically important that you read every word of this article because what happens in a Bear Market is critical to your stock market investment success.
You'll find the answers to all these questions about the Bear Market and more. But First...A Bit of Trivia
Bear Market DefinitionThe simplest Bear Market is definition is when the S&P 500 Index loses 20% or more of it's value. Other indices can be in a Bear Market at different times but since the S&P 500 makes up approximately 70% of the total stock market value, this is the one to worry about. Bear Market FrequencyBetween 1929 and 2002, there have been 14 Bear Markets with an average of 39% slashed off the value of stocks. During this 74 year period, it took an average of 3.5 years to return to breakeven! Every time an investor loses money in a down market, they lose invaluable time to reaching their financial goal. After eliminating overlapping Bear Markets, 41 years were spent suffering through a Bear Market or returning to break even. In other words, investors spend 2/3 of their time just to break even! Bear Market CapitulationPeople speak of Bear Market capitulation as though it is the "obvious" sign of the end of the Bear Market. While it's true that Bear Markets have frequently ended with a day or two of heavy selling, usually dropping the market by several percentage points, this "capitulation" is also very difficult to identify as it's occurring. Hindsight makes it easy to spot this capitulation but let's face it, by the time it happens, the average investor is far too shell shocked to even think about re-entering the market. The unfortunate reality is that most investors suffer through the worst of the Bear Market and then fail to capitalize on the subsequent Bull Market. The Next Bear MarketSo when will the next Bear Market occur? Well, if history is any guide, every 5.2 years...but that's not a real answer is it? Then to say that no one knows for certain is probably not going to help you either, is it? If anyone knew with 100% certainty, they would certainly rival Bill Gates for wealth supremacy. But there are better ways to invest wisely. One that doesn't need to predict the next Bear Market or Bull market.

If you missed the 10 worst days, your return would have increased to 26.6%. In addition, missing both the best and the worst generated a 21.1% return, or a 20% better performance than buy and hold results.
