Why the Odds of a Bear Market Are Increasing by the Day
Last week I was a "Doubting Thomas" when it came to the staying power of the recent S&P 500 (SPY) rally.

And yes, that portfolio actually rallied this week as the market tanked). The point is that the odds of bear market are increasing by the day. And right now we are amassing a 3rd assault on a break into bear market territory (below 3,855). The reasons why that probably takes places is shared in this week's POWR Value commentary.
