The 10th anniversary of the bull market prompts the question of whether it will continue. The value of U.S. stocks has risen from $3 trillion to $15 trillion over the past decade, with investors' appetite for stocks at an all-time high. This year, they have bought $72.3 billion in new stock issues, compared to just $4.5 billion in 1990. Half of all American households now own stock, up from one-third in 1989. Despite the market's recent downturn, some are still optimistic about its future prospects.
