    "The crash of 1987 for example did not lead to a bear market.
    Likewise, the Japanese Nikkei bear market of the 1990s occurred over several years without any notable crashes."

    Sorry Tropo, I didn't click on the link at the bottom. Didn't realise you were quoting the article.

    I beg to differ with the authors use of the term Crash then :D

    I do not necessarily agree ;) with some definitions/terms we are getting from a “cyber space”, but in above case author tried to be very brief or sensational (my guess only).:rolleyes:
    After all you are getting interesting data, and that is what really matters.:D
