Slumbering Bear Holds A Lot Of Answers

in Fund Discussions
FYI: It has been almost nine years since the last U.S. bear market, as defined by a 20 percent or more decline in the S&P 500 Index. That’s the second-longest stretch without one since 1928, according to Yardeni Research Inc. Only the period from December 1987 to March 2000 was longer.

    Thanks @Ted.

    Peak to trough, the Russell and Midcap Indexes lost more than 20% in 2015-16, and the equal weight S&P lost 18%.

    Close enough for me.
