Dow up 320 percent since 2007

Phil Rosen highlights that the Dow has increased 320 percent since 2007.

He points out this growth came despite a 50 percent drop during the Great Financial Crisis, as well as subsequent V-shaped recoveries through the pandemic and periods of tariffs. Rosen refers to the Dow as the most boring index in the world, yet emphasizes its persistent climb.

Rosen has recently noted that the Russell 2000 gained nearly all of its five-year rally in the past year, rising 28 percent over that period while the S&P 500 led performance since 2021. He has also reported that only 27 S&P 500 companies are trading above 40 times forward price-to-earnings, matching levels seen during previous market downturns. These observations follow his continued coverage of major U.S. equity benchmarks.
