Stocks Are At An All-Time High: Here's What Stopped The Last 12 Bull Runs

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: US stocks are back at all-time highs as the longest bull market in American history continues its record-setting run.
How much longer can the good times roll?
It's anyone's guess, but bull markets and economic expansions don't die of old age. Credit crunches, political uncertainty, wars and rampant speculation have ended previous bull markets.
Overall, the S&P 500 has gained 334% in the 121 months since its Great-Recession low in March 2009. Bull markets occur when stocks gain at least 20% from their most recent low. Since the Great Depression, that's happened 12 other times to the S&P 500, according to Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices.
Here's how they each came to an end.
Regards,
Ted
