“… you need to go back a lot further than this to understand just how far this market can drop, which is better understood on the long-term chart for the Dow Jones Industrials shown below which goes back to 1980. This chart gives a downside target in the 5,500 area (it’s now at almost 17,000), achievable within a year or so, which might seem incredible to many, but is certainly well within the bounds of possibility, as this chart makes plain, and if ever the conditions existed for such a devastating decline, it’s now. This means that the market should lose two-thirds of its value.”
