Investment Update, Second Quarter 2019
Some have called this the most hated bull market in history. The S&P 500 Index finished the first half of 2019 at 2,942, only slightly lower than its all-time closing high of 2,954 reached on June, 20, 2019. S&P 500 six-month return, inclusive of dividends, is an impressive 18.5%, the best first half since 1996. Further, the economic expansion that began in July of 2009 turns ten this month making it the longest on record.
