S&P Closes in Bear Territory Again

Bob Brinker's market-timing recommendations are sadly looking more and more ridiculous as he remains fully invested throughout this decline into bear territory.
.
At the S&P 500 Index all-time-record-high of last October, Brinker was looking for new highs and predicting it would trade in the mid-1600's range.
.
May 31, 2008 he was bashing bad-news bears for "scaring people" out of the market and calling them "false prophets."
.
As Jody commented about my last post: "So much for that idea. The S&P just closed at 1244, which is 20.5% lower than 1565."
.
Thank you, Jody. It was a good idea, and I think we were all hoping Monday's low would hold even if it gave Bob Brinker a 1/100th% wiggle room.... 8~)

So where are we now?
.
.
The Dow is now down over 21% since the October high.
.
The Nasdaq is now down over 21% since the October high.
.
The S&P 500 Index is now down 20.5% since the October high.

No matter what the stock market does, life goes on and is full of beauty. These are growing just outside my front door:
