S&P500 History: 1987 and 1995 Parabolic AttemptsIn July of 1982 the S&P 500 bottomed and began its next bull market. It made a parabolic attempt in 1987 but was smashed down. Notice how orderly and well-respected the 13-year rising trendlines were. The SPX then made a 2nd parabolic attempt in 1995 but this time it was successful and lasted for 5 years.
I'm sharing these analyses of previous parabolas in the S&P500 because it is extremely useful for comparison to today's 2009-2020 expansion in the SPX. The SPX at present is making a 2nd parabolic attempt and this one looks a lot more convincing. Its good to remember that bubbles can grow to unimaginable sizes and last for years.
Also notice on the top chart how a rather significant decrease in the Federal Funds Rate correlates to expansions in the S&P 500
