[$$] Bearing Down: With Bull Run in Jeopardy, Investors Find Few Havens
The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have slumped 19% from their recent highs, teetering on the cusp of a 20% decline that would signify a bear market and end the longest bull run in history. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite, the Russell 2000 index of small-capitalization stocks and the Dow Jones Transportation Average have already breached those levels, as have seven of the 11 sectors in the broad S&P 500 and popular exchange-traded funds that track home builders and retailers. Only the defensive sectors of the S&P 500—utilities, real estate, health care and consumer staples—that are known for their steady dividend payments have avoided such steep declines, for now.
Reuters•last monthNasdaq in bear market, first of the three major U.S. indexes
The Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC) confirmed on Friday it is in a bear market for the first time since 2008, underscoring fears that the longest bull run in history for U.S. stocks could soon be over. The index finished the day down 21.9 percent from its Aug. 29 record closing high, exceeding the 20 percent decline considered the threshold for a bear market. The Nasdaq is the first of the three major U.S. stock indexes to cross that threshold, with its drop in less than four months the latest sign that the bull market that began during the financial crisis a decade ago could be almost done.

Small-cap stocks enter bear market, with Russell 2000 benchmark down 20% from highs
After Monday's decline, the Russell 2000 benchmark is now down 20 percent from its all-time high hit in late August. Small caps had outperformed their large peers earlier in the year on bets that domestic-focused companies would be immune to the trade tensions. "Small caps are riskier than large caps, and there are some concerns about the end of a cycle in the U.S. and that we are entering a recession," said Tobias Levkovich, chief U.S. equity strategist at Citi.
