I remember seeing an interesting chart from some blog showing a long term chart of some broad-based index showing the rarity of a decline in the markets for four straight months, but I can’t seem to find the chart or blog. Thus, I’ve created my own chart, a 20 year monthly chart of the S&P 500. I’ve highlighted the points where there have been 4 or 5 straight months of decline.
The important thing to note is that these series of declines have all taken place during a period of recession. Also, there is usually a good-sized rally after these series of declines. Just something to keep in mind.
