Bear markets of the past 100 years

The table below shows the bear markets of the last 100 years. The worst so far was the September 1929 - July 1932 when the Dow lost 89%. In the current market the Dow has lost about 33% from it's recent peak at 14,000. This just illustrates that even though share prices have fallen a lot and shares are "cheap", there is still downside potential in the market.
