The Road to Recovery

• Stock market recoveries are rarely a straight line

• Recoveries typically include down months, even down quarters:

• 19741974: The S&P posted two periods of significant declines when emerging from the Oil Crisis

• 19981998: The S&P stumbled several times before eclipsing 1300 for the first time in history.

• The markets have rewarded patience. The market has recovered from each downturn to reach new heights.
