Anatomy of the Bear lays out the ultimate blueprint to help readers spot the bottom of a bear market. Financial market history is a guide to understanding the future. And using 70,000 articles from the Wall Street Journal, this book examines the four occasions when U.S. equities were particularly cheap from either side of the market bottom. By looking at how markets really did work in these bear-market bottoms, rather than theorizing how they should work, Anatomy of the Bear offers investors a financial field guide to making the best provisions for the future. With this book, readers will begin to understand the features which indicate that a great buying opportunity is emerging.
