FYI: The bull market for U.S. stocks turns 10 years old this weekend, which puts it way past senior citizen status for a market run. It's got the scars to prove it.
Since rising from the rubble of the financial crisis in 2009, this bull market has faced several near-death experiences. Worries about everything from debt problems in Europe to the global trade war have nearly derailed it at various points over the past decade.
But in each instance, the market steadied itself before notching a 20 percent loss, a reversal that would have turned the bull market into a bear. It sustained itself even as other investments, such as oil and stocks from other countries, long ago fell into their own bear markets.
