I agree and am well aware that this is a bear market rally.

See my post from Monday on another thread:

Bear Market Rallies

I guess I'm just astounded at the gullibility...

The old adage is that a bull climbs a wall of worry. Drops in a bull can be steep but the climb up is gradual and steady.

The opposite is a bear, the bear slides down a slope of residual hope. A few day rise can be steep, but the general decline is gradual and steady.

The 1930 chart you linked to shows that pattern.
