I'm in the same boat as both of you -- still deep in the accumulation phase and so would welcome a protracted downturn. Not so bad that unemployment spiked again or anything, but bad enough to hurt stock prices while I accumulate.
What I understand less is whether we would want to root for lower stock prices as a result of increasing interest rates and QE ending. Sure, it would provide lower stock entry prices for me, but at the same time it might change the decision-making and asset allocation decisions away from stocks.
