This has been a historic decade for markets:

The S&P 500 is on track for a 20% return in 2026, which would mark its 4th consecutive year of double-digit gains.

Since the start of 2023, the S&P 500 is now up a massive +93%.

If this happens, it would mark just the 2nd stretch of at least 4 consecutive years of double-digit annual returns since the index's debut in 1957.

The only other instance was the Dot-Com Bubble run, when the index rallied +20%+ for five consecutive years from 1995 to 1999.

Before that, the previous version of the index recorded 4 straight years of double-digit gains during World War II and the peace period that followed, from 1949 to 1952.

Market momentum is unlike anything markets have seen in decades.
