Anatomy of the Bear

Would enjoy hearing thoughts. I would have loved to bring out a few quotes from anatomy of the bear, but lent it to a friend last year this time.

What historically proven metrics do you use in gauging bear market bottoms for effective dollar cost averaging into the markets at “true” recovery indicators? Or better yet, what parallels are you drawing from past recessions?  
 

Personally, think geopolitical instability, 70s Iranian oil crisis and the lead into the secondary 1933 depression are the theatrical act. 28-33 playbook has been in play since ‘08, and Covid sealed the deal in banking consolidation/branch banking transformation waves. Covid swooped in hardened true collapse of foreign economic discrepancies.

Keep investing domestic - how, when, where and why?
