In this comparison of the SP 500 declines in the bear markets of 2000-3
and 2007-9 we perform a more precise time comparison.
In each chart the end point is exactly 183 days from the top.
"Righteousness is a blessing, with contentment. For we bring nothing into the world, and we take nothing with us. With food and clothing enough, let us be content. But those who want to be rich descend into temptations, and a trap, with foolish and fatal desires, and fall into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all evil. And by craving it, many have fallen from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 1 Timothy 6:6-10
