What are the "events" that Nautilus chart is anchoring off?

Hey mate - it's the other instances when we had over >15% and <20% S&P returns by the end of August! I've posted a similar one from BofA on Twitter!

Hi John, thanks for the write up interesting outlook. I hadn't considered a crash up scenario. I would have expected any crash up to be short lived if rates drop as it would a sign of a real slowdown. Markets ignored rising rates from May all the way till July, so I was wondering how much impact.a fall.back in rates would have.

Hi John, thanks for your reply. It's a very interesting market. Not easy to call. A mild slowdown indeed I could see not affecting the mega caps much.

Hi Niall - market ignoring rates to me is a testament of the sheer strength it's been displaying in the past years. I really question if a mild economic slowdown can actually impair returns significantly... I think it's quite possible we have a deceleration from here too, but I'm not sure it will impact markets that much...
