Bull Market

What is Bull Market?

A bull market is a sustained period of rising prices and optimism in a market or index, often defined loosely as a rise of 20% or more from a recent low.

Bull markets tend to last longer than bear markets, but no one can say when one will end. Staying diversified and avoiding chasing the latest winners helps.
