Bear market expert makes new prediction
Nobody believed Larry Benedict's prediction in February 2020. The DOW plunged 3.5%, and he told CNBC, "It seems like there's much more to come." Within a month, the market plummeted 34%. Then, nobody believed Larry at the start of last year, either. He predicted that "all the indexes will be negative for the year," with the Nasdaq leading the way. Once again, he was spot-on.
