FYI: In this week’s Bespoke Report, we published the table below ahead of Monday’s six-year anniversary of the S&P 500′s 3/9/09 bear market low. As we noted Friday, the bull market will have to celebrate its sixth birthday retroactively unless a new closing high is made on Monday.
The generally accepted measure for a bull market is a rally of at least 20% that was preceded by a decline of at least 20% (based on closing prices). Using this calculation, below are two tables showing historical bull markets for the S&P 500 going back to 1928. The table on the left shows bull markets by date (oldest to most recent), while the table on the right shows bull markets by length (from longest to shortest).
Regards,
Ted
