Welcome to "Make it Stack" with Will Waterhouse, the podcast designed to demystify the world of saving and investing for young people.
In this episode, I talk about the infamous Bear Markets over the past 100 hundred years and the impact of the S&P 500 (the US equity index). How severe were they and how long did they last?
Topics Discussed/Key Summary:
1.The Wall Street Crash (1929) Max drawdown 86%. Duration 25 years.
2.The Oil Price Shock (1973) Max drawdown 48%. Duration 7 years.
3.The Dotcom Bubble (2000) Max drawdown 47%. Duration 7 years.
4.The Global Financial Crisis (2007) Max drawdown 56%. Duration 7 years.
5.COVID-19 Pandemic (2020) Max drawdown 32%. Duration 0.5 years.
Investors should acknowledge and respect what history tells us and keep these scenarios at the back of our minds. This will mean that you’ll keep your head when others around you are losing theirs when the markets go through another rough patch.
