Bull-Bear Ratio Remains Below 1.00

In the past, “transitory” BBR readings around 1.00 or lower marked great buying opportunities attributable to short-term market corrections. More “persistent” readings around 1.00 or lower tended to coincide with longer-term bear markets, which also presented great buying opportunities but with a prolonged amount of pain.

We remain in the correction camp, but feeling the pain.
