Charlie Bilello: Bull markets historically outlast bear markets with higher returns
Bull markets outlast bear markets in returns

Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, notes that bull markets have lasted five times longer than bear markets on average.

He highlights that bull markets deliver approximately 254% returns over five years, compared to a 31% average decline for bear markets over one year. Interrupting compounding growth, he adds, poses the biggest risk to building wealth.

Bilello has previously tracked a series of notable market milestones this year. He reported that the S&P 500 recorded 22 all-time highs since January. In a separate update, he noted the Nasdaq Composite crossed the 27,000 level for the first time. Both indexes have posted multiple new records in 2024.
