Why you won’t know it when a bear market starts

It was on Oct. 9, 2007, 14 years ago this week, that the stock market hit its bull market high prior to the beginning of the Financial Crisis-induced bear market.

It’s only after the fact that it becomes clear that the bull market has ended.

If they can’t do better, then what makes you think you can?I think these statistics make a compelling case.
