The three stages of a bear market

Disbelief - the 2006 US housing bubble is brushed off as an isolated event - the housing stocks collapse but the broader indices advance

Worry - the Sub-Prime mortgage "problem" widens and in 2007 the Financial stocks sink - the financial crisis spreads into Global markets and the FED steps in

Panic - investors fear to own any asset and sell at any price to raise cash - The activity over the past 6 trading sessions is the panic

Strategy - do not sell now and STOP WATCHING BUSINESS TELEVISION!
