The US stock market is making history:

The SP500 is now on track to outperform global stocks for the 14th year out of the last 15. This is the longest streak in at least 75 years. During this period, the index has rallied 446%, almost DOUBLE the 229% gain of the MSCI World index. This year alone, the S&P 500 has risen 28%, beating global stocks by 6 percentage points.
