Taking a look at Bespoke’s data for the ten best days in stocks since 1900, 4 are during a bear market, and 4 are near (or at) the market bottom. Where are we? (I have no idea). Interesting to note is 8 of the ten came during the 1929-1939 time period, and the only other one right after Black Monday.
(Click on the chart to enlarge. I did my best to eyeball the dates, so if they look a little off I apologize.)
