Don’t panic! There’ve been 13 bull and bear markets since WWII


By Jeff Benjamin 
Now that the stock market is officially in bear territory, following the longest bull market in modern history, it can be easy for clients to lose perspective. The following slides provide a simple reminder of how the S&P 500 Index moves through market cycles.

For example, since World War II, the U.S. stock market has experienced 13 bull-bear cycles, with the average bull market lasting 1,630 days and the average bear lasting 419 days.

Over that period, the average bear market decline is 27%, while the average bull market gain is 167%. And the average recovery time from a bear market is 26 months.
