Swiss Stock Market: Is the Bull Run Over?
It has been over nine years since most stock market indices around the world declared the end of the Great Recession in March 2009. That was when the DJIA and the S&P 500 in the U.S. and the German DAX started recovering from their respective crashes. It was March 2009 when the Swiss stock market…
