The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The S&P 500 index intraday high hit 4606.31 this morning, which is within 0.02% of the intraday high back on July 27th (4607.07). We are on day 94 since that high.

I think Jim summarized the 99-day DBE in a binary way - either "we are definitely in a bull market", or "we might not be in a bull market" and that if the DBE was unfavorable, other indicators should be looked at to confirm the market condition.

But today's high is only 0.02% lower than the peak back in July. Is that difference worth saying the bull market may be over if the July peak isn't technically surpassed in the next week?
