It has been almost two years of unprecedented growth in the market…
While there are many people who will argue that the current bull market started in 2009 – and there is a very solid case for that – there are others that believe that February of 2016 was the TRUE beginning of this current unprecedented run.
Regardless of what YOU believe…
The fact remains that we’re on a hot streak and people are getting the chance to make a LOT of money.
However, with the good comes the bad…
Because with so many gains being made – people keep speculating when the inevitable losses will come. It’s human nature. We tend to anticipate that other shoe dropping.
However, in this case – will it?
Is the sleeping bear starting to stir? Are there signs that the bull is about to go back in the barn? Or is it just fear talking?
You’ll be surprised at what the answer really is…
Understand, what is going on right now in the market is truly something that has never been seen before.
While, yes, we’ve experienced bull markets before – but never have we been on such a run that investors have begun to dispute when it actually started.
There are many different factors to this bull that people tend to either forget or just flat out ignore…
The first, and one of the biggest bumps we’ve seen, came in November of 2016 – after the election of current President, Donald Trump.
Whether you like the guy or hate him – it doesn’t matter.
For better or worse, the majority of the business world seems to like him just fine. They’ve been excited to have a businessman in the White House instead of a politician and it has shown.
They may not like him personally – but the tax cuts and deregulation he’s brought to the current economic atmosphere has been fuel for the proverbial fire.
But that’s not the only significant development…
The Federal Reserve’s willingness to keep rates low while America CONTINUES to recover from the recession has been another BIG factor in this bull market.
The Fed Chairman could have EASILY halted this run months ago by raising rates in an effort to keep inflation at bay…
But with the way the market is humming along – The Fed hasn’t had to.
It has been able to keep rates low and give America a chance to build up a war chest before it’s FORCED to continue raising rates…
It’s an inevitability.
Another BIG marker is the fact that many of the stocks that make up all three of the major indices, The Dow, NASDAQ and the S&P have experienced INCREDIBLE growth…
With the S&P 500 being the unmitigated star.
However, if one were to TRULY look at the stocks themselves – the companies that really seem to be performing are some of the big boys in the Dow.
The top three performers are a veritable “Who’s Who” of the investing world…
With Microsoft (MSFT), Visa (V), and Cisco (CSCO) leading the way.
These three companies are averaging a 35% growth rate over the past six months…
35%!
But the rest of the top 10 are humming – without a single stock making less than 15%.
Even more…
There are no indications that these stocks are going to slow down.
In fact, there are some people that are saying that the way that things are currently set up, this bull may be running for the next 10 years.
10 years!
That’s a LOT of prosperity.
All the talk about the market slowing down or another recession coming is just that… talk.
People will ALWAYS worry about the market collapsing – but they shouldn’t.
We don’t…
Of course, that’s the beauty of GorillaTrades – our trading matrix is so dialed in that barring a disastrous event…
Our recommendations are almost bullet proof. Why? Because our picks aren’t based on trends or feelings – they’re based on hard data.
There’s no guesswork…
Luckily, though, it’s not something that myself or many other experts believe we need to worry about.
So, enjoy the ride…
Don’t let all the talk get to you because NOBODY knows anything for sure. So, why worry?
Enjoy it! Prosperity like this doesn’t happen often and we should all just take advantage of it.
