A long-term perspective of the Dow Jones Industrial Average reveals the reality there are extended periods of time which the US equity market will trend upwards, and also long periods of time where the market will instead stagnate or move generally lower. There have been eight alternating cycles since 1896, with each averaging 14 years in duration. Where an individual gets on the "investment train" can have a tremendous impact on portfolio returns over time. However, even an individual fortunate enough to see two bull markets need a "game plan" to navigate a potential 14+ year stretch of bearish conditions. It is important to have at one's disposal strategies that are effective in both generally rising bull markets and falling bear markets.
