A Once-in-a-Generation Stock Market Warning Just Appeared. Investors Might Not Like What's Coming Next.
The stock market is flashing one of its rarest signals. Here's what investors should do next.
Overview
As of this writing on Aug. 5, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is trading at its highest level ever. It is on track to notch its sixth consecutive day of gains. Already, the S&P 500 index is up roughly 13% in 2026; if this bull market continues, the index will close 2026 with its fourth consecutive year of double-digit gains -- a multi-year streak not seen since the mid-90s dot-com era.
