Doug Short's Four Bad Bears

http://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/Four-Totally-Bad-Bears.php

This chart series features an overlay of the Four Bad Bears in U.S. history since the market peak in 1929. They are:

The Crash of 1929, which eventually ushered in the Great Depression, The Oil Embargo of 1973, which was followed by a vicious bout of stagflation, The 2000 Tech Bubble bust and, The Financial Crisis following the nominal all-time high in 2007.

The series includes four versions of the overlay: nominal, real (inflation-adjusted), total-return with dividends reinvested, and real total-return.
