FYI: Below is an updated look at historical bull markets for the S&P 500 going back to its inception in 1928. Remember, the standard definition of a “bull market” is a 20%+ rally that was preceded by a 20%+ decline. We’ll leave the argument over what should or shouldn’t be considered a bull market for another day. Here we’re only reporting the numbers.
As shown below, the current bull market that began on March 9th, 2009 has now lasted 2,906 days. That makes the current bull the second longest on record by 299 days. The only bull market that lasted longer was the one that ran from December 1987 through March 2000. Remarkably, the S&P didn’t experience a decline of 20% on a closing basis over that entire 4,494-day period.
