\"What<\/p>\n

Is this really the historical period on the stock market?<\/span><\/p>\n

Longest Bull Market in History?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Media reports that the US stock market<\/a> broke the record for longevity on August 22, 2018. And some portals were ecstatic with this information and published articles about this ”historical record”.<\/span><\/p>\n

This would be quite a success if it is true. But, many experts claim it is not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The true fact is that the longest run<\/a><\/span>\u00a0belongs to the 12 1\/2-year periods running from October 1987 through March 2000. The present bull market started in 2009, will need to wait till 2021 to beat that record.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to some media and experts<\/a>, bull markets are rallies that go beyond 20 percent and are never interrupted by a 20 percent fall. By the rules of Wall Street, that means the S&P 500 rally that began in March 2009 will surpass all that went before it on Wednesday.<\/span><\/p>\n
