The Stock Market May Be in Uncharted Territory Right Now, but History Still Has Good News for Investors
Yahoo Finance ·
For much of the past few years, major market indexes have experienced unprecedented growth. The S&P 500 ( ^GSPC +1.18% ) is up nearly 77% over the past three years alone, as of this writing, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ( ^IXIC +2.07% ) has soared by around 94% over the same period. Much of this growth can be attributed to large tech stocks . The AI boom has driven up valuations, and massive companies now account for a historically large share of the market -- even more so than during the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. In many ways, the market is in uncharted territory. Many analysts argue that large stocks are still fairly priced despite record-breaking valuations, making it debatable whether this is a true bubble. That said, some investors are understandably nervous about investing when the S&P 500 is dominated by a handful of tech companies. Fortunately, history still has some positive news for investors willing to maintain a long-term outlook.
