I’m just wondering...has the Dow ever hit 47 consecutive highs in the first eight months of any new administration?
I don’t follow the markets, but this sounds pretty phenomenal.
Not so phenomenal. There are many speculative articles about the market. But it depends on what factors go into the mix to formulate graphs and whether the market is in a bubble or not. Hard to know which "experts" to believe. From what I've read, there have been some short bear markets within the stretch touted as a bull run, based on different factors that the naysayers didn't use. So the bull market hasn't exactly run for eight years or so, only perhaps only half that. The bull market still has the ability to run for several years more.
Despite my fears of a bubble collapse, I kept my money in the market and have seen it grow phenomenally since 2008. I'm glad I didn't cash out. I wish I was more aggressive, but play conservatively and spread investments to different things. Stocks have grown the most and outdistanced all the others.
