Will the Bull Market Linger? History Winks 😉

In partnership with

It's official—the current bull market has just hit the two-year mark! 🎉
But here's the big question: Is the best still yet to come?

If you're feeling like you missed out on the action, don't fret!

History might have some good news for you.

Let’s take a fun dive into what history says about bull markets as they enter their third year.

And how you can ride the wave without stressing over market timing.

(Spoiler: There’s a lot to be optimistic about!)

Bull Markets: What’s the Deal?

The stock market is like a rollercoaster.

You have the ups (bull markets) and the downs (bear markets).

The good news?

Bull markets generally outshine bear markets over time.

Back in October 2022, the S&P 500 hit rock bottom during the latest bear cycle.

But then—boom!—the market took off and climbed an impressive 64%.

Now, two years in, it’s still going strong.

So, what’s next for year three?

Let’s see what history has to say.

Year Three: What History Tells Us

Before we dig into the numbers, let me remind you:

History doesn’t guarantee the future.

But it sure can give us some solid clues!

Looking at the past 11 bull markets, 9 made it through a full third year.

And half of those even enjoyed double-digit growth during that time.

Pretty promising, right?

Even more encouraging, the S&P 500 has posted gains for five straight months.

Since 1950, that’s happened 29 times.

Out of those, 28 ended the next year with even higher returns!

Now, that's some exciting stuff!

Missed the Bull Market? It’s Not Too Late!

If you're sitting there thinking, "I missed the boat," think again!

Two years might sound like a long time, but in bull market terms, it’s like a toddler just learning to walk.

According to JP Morgan, the median bull market lasts about 46 months—nearly four years!

So, if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines, you haven’t missed much.

Jumping in now could still be a smart move.

Just don’t try to time the market like it’s some kind of magical formula—it's about as predictable as a toddler with a crayon.

Time in the Market > Timing the Market

Instead of trying to guess when the market will dip or soar, stick to a simple strategy like dollar-cost averaging.

This way, you're investing at regular intervals, rain or shine.

It takes some of the stress out of investing and helps you avoid getting emotional over market swings.

Remember, in the stock market, time is your best friend.

Wrap-Up & Call-to-Action
