Bloomberg Intelligence's 'Equity Market Minute' 12/18/2019

The video discusses the US equity market's bull run, noting that it has lasted 10 years and may continue based on historical trends. The average bull market lasts 18 years, suggesting the current run could be only halfway through. The current market is compared to past bull markets, showing no extraordinary characteristics. The main risk to stocks is identified as earnings growth rather than Fed influence or interest rates. The S&P 500's rise is attributed to earnings growth, with a modest valuation expansion. A recovery in earnings is expected, but if it doesn't occur, stocks may weaken.
