OPINION: From failed rallies to almost everyone throwing in the towel, a bear market typically follows nine stages. We are at Stage 4 now, our contributor Michael Sincere writes. Here are some keys to success in the market, according to his advice. Bear markets typically end with a massive selloff. Here's what to do before then. Based on my work with stock market strategist Mark D. Cook, a typical bear market goes through nine stages. Right now we are in Stage 4. Keep in mind that a bear market does not always follow these stages in the exact order.1. Failed rallies: Failed rallies represent the first clue that a bear market is here. Failed rallies often appear before the market “officially” becomes a bear market. If the rally doesn’t have legs and cannot go higher for the next few days or weeks, it confirms that the bear’s claws have sunk in. Along the way, many failed rallies will fool bulls into thinking the worst is over. Watch the rallies for bear-market clues. The rally so far this week is an example. Now in its second day, a failure of this rally would confirm that stocks are not yet out of a bear market. Read more:

Accordingly, the three major U.S. Kendell Cummings and Brady Lowry — wrestlers from nearby Northwest College — were hiking in the woods while searching for antlers shed by deer and elk. stock-market benchmarks — the Nasdaq COMP, +2. In other words, it's always darkest before the dawn – but the data indicates it isn't as dark now as it has been before.31%, the S&P 500 SPX, +2. The bear grabbed hold of Lowry's arm and was"biting my back, my butt, my shoulder," he told the Deseret News .37% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +2. “Broke my arm. 47% — are currently all in a bear market. "I didn't want to lose my friend," Cummings told the News. The S & P 500 declined 18. Based on my work with stock market strategist Mark D. Cook, a typical bear market goes through nine stages. There was a big ol' bear on top of him. Right now we are in Stage 4.3% among these periods – and even further from the declines seen in the six months leading up to bear markets catalyzed by the 2008 recession and the Sept. Keep in mind that a bear market does not always follow these stages in the exact order." That's when the bear turned its focus on Cummings. He then kicked it and pulled at its fur. 1. Failed rallies: Failed rallies represent the first clue that a bear market is here."I was putting my hands in its mouth and stuff, so it wouldn't be chewing on my neck and everything. "When it comes to investing during a bear market, you'll often hear the advice that investors should wait on the sidelines until the market shows signs of meaningful stabilization," the firm said. Failed rallies often appear before the market “officially” becomes a bear market. If the rally doesn’t have legs and cannot go higher for the next few days or weeks, it confirms that the bear’s claws have sunk in. Thats when it bit down on his head. Along the way, many failed rallies will fool bulls into thinking the worst is over." However, Bespoke recognized the upside investors can see when they get in at the true low, noting median gains of 15. Both Brady Lowry and Cummings were left badly injured. Watch the rallies for bear-market clues. The bear then"went away again for whatever reason," according to Cummings . The rally so far this week is an example. Now in its second day, a failure of this rally would confirm that stocks are not yet out of a bear market. Lowry, not sure at that point if Cummings would survive, told the News that he climbed up a ridge to find cell service and called 911.9% over the first one-, three- and six months, respectively, following the historical bottoms studied. 2. Low-volume rallies: Another bear market clue is that stocks move higher on low volume. They helped them down the mountain and coordinated with emergency dispatchers to meet at the trailhead six miles away. It was a horrifying situation for the close-knit wrestlers, but they’re grateful that things weren’t worse. This is a clue the major financial institutions aren’t buying, although algos and hedge funds might be. The S & P 500 closed within 5% of the true low a median of 10 times during previous bear markets. It’s easy for the algos to push prices higher in a low-volume environment, one of the reasons for monster rallies that go nowhere the following day (i. "His head was painted red everywhere,” he told the News.e. a “one-day wonder”). Lowry was able to walk on his own. In just the six months before Oct. 3. That young man over there, Kendell, is a hero,” said Brady Lowry’s father, Dallas Lowry. Terrible-looking charts: The easiest way to identify a bear market is by looking at a stock chart. Local wildlife officials described the attack to the News as"a sudden, surprise encounter with a grizzly bear. It goes without saying that the charts look dreadful, both the daily and the weekly. In a note to clients Monday, Barclays said equities were "not at the bottom yet. While rallies help relieve some of the pressure, they typically don’t last long. Lowry, who was transported to a hospital via ambulance, suffered a compound fracture of his left arm. 4. Strong selloffs: It’s been a couple of years since markets have experienced extremely strong selloffs, but that record was broken the week of September 26 when the S&P 500 hit a new low for 2022. Cummings came out of surgery with . equity strategy Venu Krishna said. Copyright 2022 KSL via CNN Newsource. These strong selloffs are typical of a bear market, followed by rallies that don’t last (a roller-coaster that so far has played out during October). 5. Coming up at 5 on. Mutual-fund redemptions: During this stage, after looking at their quarterly and monthly statements, horrified investors throw in the towel and sell their mutual funds (also, some investors refuse to look at those reports). "Unfortunately, while much of the air has come out, we see more downside ahead as the Fed now reverses course in the opposite direction" of its previous lax policy, chief investment strategist Chris Senyek said. As a result, mutual fund companies are forced to sell (which negatively affects the stock market). Typically, when the indexes fall more than 20%, mutual fund redemptions increase. 6. Complacency turns to panic: As more investor money leaves the market, many investors panic. The most bullish investors are holding on for dear life but are buying fewer stocks. The most nervous investors sell to avoid risking precious gains. 7. All news is bad news: As the bear market pushes stock prices lower, it seems as if most economic data and financial news is negative. Many people become skeptical of the bullish predictions from market professionals, who earlier had promised the market would keep going up. In the depths of the worst bear markets, some bullish professionals are jeered or ignored. Even die-hard bulls are increasingly nervous as the market heads lower and lower (with occasional rallies along the way). 8. Bulls throw in the towel: As trading volume increases on down days, and some investors experience 30% or higher losses, they give up hope and sell. The market turns into a free-for-all as even the Fed appears to have lost control. Many in the media admit that a bear market has arrived. 9. Capitulation: After weeks and months of selloffs (and occasional rallies), many investors are panicked. Investors realize that it may take years before their portfolios will return to breakeven, and some stocks never will. In the final stage of a bear market, trading volume is more than three times higher than normal. Even some of true believers liquidate positions, as many portfolios are down by 40% or 50% and more. Almost every financial asset has fallen, with the exception of fixed income such as CDs and T-bills. Traders or investors who trade on margin feel the most pain.

Here are several ideas of what to do (and it is not too late to act): The length and volatility of every bear market is different.
