Some good charts from Goldman Sachs's Peter Oppenheimer on just how unusually savage this bear market has been. A thread: 
First of all, the size of the decline is (thus far) pretty much average for "event-driven" bear markets.
But in terms of swiftness, it is record-shattering, even surpassing the Great Crash of 1929.
It has also been record-breakingly volatile decline, Oppenheimer notes.
Here is a list of all the US bear markets since the early 1800s.
Positioning has also been ratcheted back dramatically, but it looks like it might go even further.
Equity outflows in particular probably have much further to run.
The current bear market rally has so far been short, but it's been pretty powerful.
Stresses have also emerged in funding markets.
