Ned Davis Research Projects Odds of a Bear Market
From its intra-day high of 1,370 on May 2, 2011, until yesterday’s sickening plunge to 1,119, the S&P 500 index has plummeted over 18% in a mere 3 months.
Historical data from Ned Davis Research indicates the odds of a bear market increases when the market drops at least 15%.
Ned Davis Research looked at data going back to 1928. In 42 “severe corrections,” defined as drop of 15% or more, a bear market has occurred 60% of the time. The average decline in those bear markets was nearly 36%; twice the pain we’ve experienced so far.
