The current bull market is not 7 years’ old

Some investors and many people in the media tend not to understand the concept of secular bull markets and so they date the start of this one to March of 2009. This is so wrong for so many reasons I can’t even get into them all. We do not measure secular bull markets from the bear market low of the prior cycle. The 1982-2000 secular bull market is measured from the day in 1982 when stocks finally took out their 1966 high. Nor should we use 2009 as our starting point for the current bull market. 2009 was merely the cycle low of the prior bear, not the starting point of the current bull. The actual starting point of the current secular bull market is the spring of 2013, when we broke above the double-top record highs of 2000 and 2007. This means we’re only into the third year.
