A New Bull Market or a Bear Market Trap? – Alex Petrovic, CFP®
You may have noticed that my title of this quarter’s newsletter article is the same as last quarter’s title. The stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index made its first bottom in mid-June; it was down 22% YTD. The markets rallied strong in July and August (when I wrote the last newsletter), and the S&P 500 Index was only down 11% YTD.
