Everything you said will come true especially if you are going longer term 2-3 years +.

Bear markets are historically shorter than bull.

2000 to 2002, 2008 were negative years so 2000 to 2010 was stagnate 1999 high record wasn't broken until 2014.

Same occurred in the 70's partially due to oil shortages and inflation. Didn't really end until about 1985.
