This Is Why the Powerful Bull Market in Stocks Will Keep Going for 10 More Years
U.S. stocks are "not even close" to topping out and look like they've got another decade of generally rising prices, a top Bank of America Merrill Lynch strategist says.

However, Bartels cautioned that Wall Street won't see a straight shot upward.
"Will we get bear markets? Absolutely we'll have bear markets," she said. "You'll get markets that will eventually pull back 20% or 30%. ... But the question [will be]: 'Is it a bear market or is it just a correction?' I can honestly say, fundamentally and technically, there is no sign of a bear market that's about to happen here."
