A perspective on the US Bull Market in stocks

S&P 500 Watch

If you are one of those (I am) who looks at the S&P 500 to calm your nerves or to get a long term view on the BSE Sensex (or Nifty Fifty), then I would recommend that you read an article by Victoria Recklaitis that appeared in the MarketWatch website on May 31, 2014. The accompanying graph is insightful. The graph follows the length and returns of bull and bear markets from the 1920s. If history is a guide, the S&P 500 is in good shape for the long run.


If any readers of this blog have come across reports of the correlation between S&P 500 and Sensex , please let me know.
