Experts say bear market ending and bull market returning

The S&P 500 rallied Thursday, marking a 20 percent surge since its most recent low back on October 12th 2022. Experts claim that brings an end to the bear market that began in January of 2022. A Bear Market is generally considered a sustained stretch when investment prices consistently fall, vs. a Bull Market where the market sustains a stretch of time where investment prices are rising.
