Better invested than totally out

While the market can go down and stay down for extended periods, it's up substantially from each of those disasters. Or to put it in perspective... From its lows in 1974, the S&P 500 is up nearly 7,000%. So much for the death of equities.


 BusinessWeek magazine ran its infamous headline, "The Death of Equities," with the subtitle, "How Inflation is Destroying the Stock Market"...

But look at what the S&P 500 did in the next two decades after that BusinessWeek issue...

I was at TheStreet.com working alongside Jim Cramer in 2000 when the dot-com bubble burst. I remember the panic well – from its peak in March 2000 to the bottom in October 2002, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index collapsed 78%.

But over the next several years leading up to the next crash, take a look at the recovery...

The point here isn't calling tops and bottoms... I'm saying that I've been there, I've seen it all, and now that I'm 70, I'm taking everything I learned and sharing that with anybody who will listen.

To start, we updated the data behind our  article on the Great Resignation .

 NYMO and NAMO Indicators Take a look at the McClellan Oscillators for the NYSE and the Nasdaq (NYMO and NAMO)… (Click here to expand image) (Click here to expand image) These are momentum-based indicators that help determine overbought and oversold conditions.  Readings of more than 60 indicate severely overbought conditions and often precede large declines in the markets. Readings of less than -60 express extremely oversold conditions and usually lead to strong bounces in stock prices. Both indicators closed in the extremely overbought territory last Friday. This is the sixth time in the past year that both the NYMO and the NAMO have been above 60 at the same time. Now, here’s how the S&P 500 performed after the four previous times… The market fell almost immediately following all five of the previous setups. The setup in mid-July led to only a brief, short-term pullback – lasting about one week. The S&P 500 then went on to rally about 10% over the next month into a significa
