    In a bear market it is the norm to be shocked by how low a share can go. Suggest once you think it has reached a low for the first time, allow for at least 2 and up to 4 repetitions of that percentage fall. And that is a stock that is not a basket case. It's worse for them.

    For those that have the time it is worth a look at prior bear markets and what they did to individual stocks of various types of risk profile and more importantly the time frame this occurs over. This will give you more realistic expectations here.

    But note that history rhymes rather than repeats. This time around the bear market started well before most people realized it did - months ago. The reason they did not realize such was the overall index figures quoted have been severely biased upwards by the big 7 stocks in the USA doing well. Hundreds of lesser lights fell heavily. Only now are the big 7 giving up gains eg Tesla 25% in last month.

    I know this from being old and watching and learning - the young today have the advantage of being able to ask AI about these questions albeit the answers will be deficient in some ways. Treat them as a time saving guide rather than being definitive. Ask the same question from different angles as well to help deal with AI's deficiencies.

    Bear markets also give you the chance to buy low - really low. If you can wait and keep your head like Rudyard fortunes can be made.
