After these stocks bottom, we will have one final rally that catches most people off guard (I will estimate in advance ~7200 - 7300) before the big crash begins.Fuelman » 01 Feb 2026, 12:01 pm » wrote: ↑ That doesn't sound good!
Guess that's why the experts say to be as spread out as much as possible, diversified. One stock going to crap becomes a fractional event on your account.
This could be your year after surviving the first two years. Western Canada is a good place to get lost!
I expect the vast majority of stocks to behave like United Healthcare during its steep collapse; arguably the outcome will be worse because UNH is considered a moderately low beta stock and it fell by 60%, these tech/growth stocks that are heavily weighted in NDX/SPX will fall 80-90%, and it will happen with shocking speed with no warning.
I looked at some tech stocks during 2000-2002, Teledyne (considered a blue chip today) fell by 80% before a huge bear market rally in the first leg down.
Most people will short the BOTTOMS of vicious bear market rallies (+50%, +70%, +80%) and lose everything because they cannot "TIME" the market.
