I'm a finance noob so correct me if I'm wrong but is it true that the Nikkei still hasn't fully recovered since a huge crash back in the early 90's? If so, is it likely that this bear market may be the beginning of something similar?
I sometimes hear people say that it's better to wait out a bear market as they usually recover fairly quickly anyways (and because it's really hard to time the market). But then I start thinking about the Nikkei crash and get worried.
So, anyone knows what made the Nikkei crash so hard and why it has taken so long to recover? Is there anything in this bear market that hints to the possibility that something similar may happen now? As far as I know the QE and low interest rates we've had for the past years are unprecedented so who knows what the consequences may be?
Again I'm a noob so sorry if this is a weird question
