Just in case the Dow continues to run, I’ve gone and generated the targets it has left if it intends to keep setting records. Though this data is less useful than my analysis of the correlation between these percentages and subsequent return, it’s still important to get an idea what the market was doing the last time these records were set.
The following is a list from all the way from 10 sessions to 400 sessions. The table should be pretty self-explanatory. Most were in the mid 1950′s, followed by the early 1970′s.
