I am rarely dramatic, but 2022 is an exception. I believe we are in the type of bear market that we haven't seen in a long, long time. The pandemic-driven cyclical bear market in 2020 was a health care crisis, not a financial crisis... Read More

Buyers and sellers are slugging it out for control of the long-term trend for the S&P 500. This battle is raging near the 200-day SMA, which is perhaps the most widely followed long-term moving average. The S&P 500 is also the most widely followed benchmark for US stocks... Read More

I must sound like "Debbie Downer", given this is my second ChartWatchers article with "bear market" in the title. I am bearish right now, but had to remind myself of "Bear Market Rules" Thursday after getting a little too bullish on Wednesday... Read More

I sat down to write my article Friday morning and each time I thought I had the right headline -- I didn't! You see, it's different when the market is green, the VIX is calm, all is well... Read More
