After a rough couple of months for stocks — with the S&P 500 officially falling into a bear market in June — last week was another good one for the major indexes. That may have you wondering: Is the bear market you've been hearing so much about finally ending? Sorry to disappoint, but not necessarily. Last week, I wrote about how bear markets often include small rallies that get investors' hopes up. Take the dot-com bust, for example. Between the S&P 500's peak in March 2000 to its low in October 2002, the index lost 49% of its value — but along the way it saw 11 different rallies of 5% or more, according to analysts at Bespoke Investment Group. Check out the story for more examples of rallies during previous bear markets… and learn one way you can benefit from an eventual stock market recovery. — Mallika Mitra, lead investing reporter P.S.
