Comparing 3 bear markets to one another and a bull market. This is some tremendous amount of science you brought here.

Comparing the percentage difference after different peaks is sensible I think. I just wish it wasn’t so obviously cherry picked.

Like maybe label and include every single major peak in the last 20 years and then it’ll be useful

Fair point, it’s like survivorship bias in reverse. However, a chart with all major peaks would be very busy, and that’s assuming we can define what a ‘major peak’ is.

Seems like a very good chart, if you have the financing to just make it for the next 6-12 months. The next rally is going to be phenomenal: it's not just the usual economic cycle, there's a tech cycle that's synchronising with it, which is always the precursor to new fields and industries (and monopolies) emerging = huge growth potential.

Kind of looking forward to mid- to late-2023.

People who post previous recession charts stacked on top of each other are more closely related to chimpanzees than humans.

I want to see the 2008 crash and other peaks including 2020 on the same chart. I wonder how those line up.

The 2008 crash is labelled ‘credit crunch’. I had the early 2020 peak but the covid selloff was so deep and the recovery so strong it was squeezing the y-axis. last chart with the covid selloff

Dang Covid was really such an anomaly, the final “we can print as much as we want” moment at least in my lifetime I think

At what point is just taking my money and locking it in at 5% in a CD a bad thing? Having guaranteed earnings is kinda more relieving than tossing my money into the magic money machine

Just wait till they have to raise rates until Treasury bonds are 18% like they did in the early 1980s. Then you can have 30 years of 18%

Squiggly lines going up and down. A 3-year-old can draw this. You are never getting into art school if this is all you can do. : )
