Long term blue chip hold will need time to ride the troughs back up. The difference is the time it takes which equates to the opportunity cost. I too suspect the bull trend is over for the time being. It will take some time, no idea how long for blues to return to glory days but softened by the comforts of dividends. Not me, it’s all capital gains with bonus divvy.
The short term stock market movement is just a measure of the sentiment to economic or political events. Longer term trends measure the economic health too early to be referring crash but the odds tipping in the favor of the down side. If 2015-16 is anything to go by, it shows market unpredictability.
