Even without looking at the charts, this bear will be a big one. Personally I don't think the Dow will climb above 10,000 in the near future and I think the Nikkei will also stay below 10,000 for quite some time to come.

Video chart right from 1929 black tuesday to present,
Dow fell from nearly 400 to under 50 points
Its mind bogling to know that it took over two decades!
In 1954 it made back to pre-crash highs.

And since how many decades has Nikkie been decaying ?

Makes you wonder, How long will it take this time ?
