After multi years of purebull run since Mar 2009, DOW had seen its 
current record peak set in May 2015.

History always repeat in a similar fashion in stock mkt.
When DOW peaked, mkt will fall in stages leading to a deadly crash.
On average this purebear primary phase takes between at least 1 year to even
2 years to complete. So we can start counting from May 2015 onward. 
To spot n call the final bottom between 1 yr to 2 yrs is a difficult task to
achieve. This is the time period most fearful of by stock players, both
investors and traders too. 
IF u can have a way to catch this bottom like in Mar 2009, u r the 
perfectionist for the stock mkt.

Then CASH is king. It enables U to buy anything especially very good A-ones at cheap prices.

Meantime, do something to safe guard your portfolio.
To corporate CEOs, be careful not to commit big borrowing, M&A, or 
begin a big project during this phase.

To all my READERS, friends n relatives, GOOD LUCK ........
