There are too few bull markets listed. The ones listed are the result of huge, long term macro changes - some of which are subject to politics, world conflicts, etc. Some are due to easy money for a long time, some on the retreat from tight money (bond bull market), some do to economic growth (Nikkei, Hang Seng) some due to technology. Also, most of those long term bull markets have some sharp drops in the middle, that tended to affect every stock, even the great ones. With this limited selection, you could argue that "most bull markets are the result of major errors in monetary policy". Then you would look at investing in the traditional inflation hedges of precious metals and select real estate. That doesn't add much value to what we already know... There have been some big up and down cycles in oil prices, for example, way up from the ealry 1970s and the 1973 and 1979 oil crisis, peaking in the early 1980s, then ramping down, down, down until around 1988, when the Economist ran their "end of oil cover".. Another missing bull market was Personal Computer and semiconductor boom from 1978 through about 1984. Brazil has also had a boom after 2002 If we had bought in 2004 after realizing that Lula was going to grow the economy, and was not a doctrinaire Marxist, we could have had 3X money in a few years. finance.yahoo.com; There have been some smaller markets that have gone up and down, such a Uranium, which had a very nice run through the early 2000s until the growth of shale gas and then the Japan earthquake. James Dines was pushing uranium stocks, along with some other people on SI. The stocks went up about 3-5 x in a period of about 5 years. Look at Cemeco (Nyse CCJ ) from 2001 to about 2007 - that's pretty good.
