Hi wise people. How do I determine when/if our bear market will continue dragging on slowly/the bottom will fall out or if it bottoms out "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."

Financials have not stoke the fire to bring forth enough heat for bulls to show up. Its still cold. Watching safcom fight the bear single handedly. I wonder who will win.  all others have given up to fate and anything goes past safcom.  ,Behold, a sower went forth to sow;....

There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

The bear is still on! Check nic, kcb and even equity slowly drifting back to comfort zone before results! Saf, BAT,EABL, Jubilee, Bamburi. Left to fight the bear The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Despite low fuel prices, falling inflation, falling tbill rates,good rain to hydro power/animal feeds/good harvest in some areas,another rain onset,good bank results than expected ,"the bear continues to seat comfortably "this to me means the main reasons for this bear are outside kenya and not within our control "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

Am also thinking that the bear is having lunch in town before serious Massacre begins. “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase-Proverbs 20:14

As long as globally the central banks continue with the current negative interest rates madness, the markets will keep on falling down! Only one event is pending that will make stocks head to all time highs and not based on any fundamentals since the global economy is in a slump. That event is the expected fallout in govt bond market. That capital shift will pile into equities as govt bonds get dumped across board. If you hoard cash which is expected you'll be enemy of the state! Thus the best option is to buy equities since confidence in the financial system will vapourize! $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Am also thinking that the bear is having lunch in town before serious Massacre begins. What astonishes me is that the bear is not afraid of impressive results. It's all about psychology @spikes. Bull markets pump maniac psychology while bear markets extend pessimistic psychology. The market doesn't work on just two participants, it needs the crowd to function. If the crowd's psychology is negative you get a sellers haven and vice versa.
Thus the simple principle:
"In bull markets good news is celebrate, bad news is bought. In bear markets good news is sold, bad news is sold."
But if you are a smart investor the sold good news in a bear is your holy grail value playground. 
The opposite applies in a maniac bull market. You keep on selling into the bull as you expect to buy the expected bear.
On a normal timeframe the golden handcuff list (centum, equity and britam) would be in my radar of accumulation. But the global market headwinds are holding me back.$15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!
