As an investor it is important to have an understanding of the bear perspective as it relates to this market. Tyler Durden of Zero Hedge, in conjunction with David Rosenberg, Chief Economist & Strategist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates, Inc., have assembled a research report that outlines the challeges facing the economy and market.

Secular Bear Market Table As the above table notes, investors can still make money during secular bear markets.

Given the strength and duration of the recent advance off of the March lows, some consolidation of gains is certainly probable.
