Jim Rogers says ETF holders will get mauled by the worst bear market ever

Re: Jim Rogers says ETF holders will get mauled by ‘the worst’ bear market ever

This is why "Friends don't let friends buy and hold." :)

“When we have the bear market, a lot of people are going to find that, ‘Oh my God, I own an ETF, and they collapsed. It went down more than anything else.’ And the reason it will go down more than anything else is because that’s what everybody owns,” he says.
 
You know- I'm just going to say this- and get it off my chest.

I'm thinking we're going to have a pretty significant pullback any day now. There are signs that are telling me that we've gone waaay too far up, too fast, for anything OTHER than a quick pull back that is going to be significant enough to grab attention.

Now, there really is nothing fundementally wrong with the economy, OTHER than it has gone upward for longer than it should have. We SHOULD have had a small pull back or even two in the last six months, and we haven't.

So I am thinking that we 're about to get smacked with a nice, healthy pullback. I am seeing, in the charts, a range of somewhere around SEVEN PERCENT DOWN as not being unrealistic.


Call me a pessimist if you like, but the drop could be more than 7%, maybe more like 10%. But I just am seeing, feeling, and thinking we're at loftly levels right now and need a good downward hack in order to clear out some of the headiness and optimism that is floating around right now, driving PE level to unnatural highs.

Anyway, that's got me thinking that a BEAR MARKET is a real possibility, and soon, and that a whack of at least 5%, likely 7%, and possibly as much as a 10% pullback is close at hand.


My 2 cents on Jim Roger's vision- he's on-target.
 
We used to get 10% pullbacks just about every year. Now the downside is not an option, if the Fed has any say.
