yes its a secular bear. A secular bear is a multi year period where stocks are flat. And stocks are FLAT. Average stock market returns over a 100 year period are 10% per year. We haven't had 10% per year in this entire decade. As far as "multi year highs", think about it, mr mathematically challenged. If we have flat markets for 5 years, only a few points will deliver "multi year highs". For gods sake, you are stupid. Please don't embarass yourself anymore. DOW 5 years ago: 10607 DOW friday: 12580 ANNUALIZED RETURN: 3.7% over a 5 year period. Nasdaq 5 years ago: 1929 Nasdaq friday: 2459 ANNUALIZED RETURN: 5% over a 5 year period. And by the way, 5 years ago was 2002, a terrible trough in a bear market.
