Although it varies depending on where you pull your information from, most sources will state that bear markets last on average between 280-450 days (here is one source for the S&P). If that's the case, then we could be 1/3 of the way through this. Just keep in mind 40% declines in these markets is “average” and we're not even close to that yet. It can get worse but just continue to hold good companies/etfs and it'll pass.
