In this video, we walk through 75+ years of market history to identify the difference between secular bull markets and secular stagnation — and why that distinction determines whether compounding works for you or against you. We’ll examine: • The S&P 500 from 1949–2026 • The secular bull windows of 1950–1968, 1982–1999, and 2013–present • Why 1969–1981 and 2000–2012 required diversification and toned-down exposure • Foreign stocks vs. U.S. in 2026, along with Tech, Mag 7, and LC Growth • And how to identify leadership early — and stay with it The key is correctly identifying secular regimes… and owning the true long-term leaders long enough for compounding to do the heavy lifting.
