The current bull market isn't even the the runner-up in performance: The baby-boom bull market in the 1950s is the second-best performer, with the market having risen 267% during its seven years. That record dot-com bull market, which is also the best-performing, with a 417% gain, lasted just more than a year longer than the current bull market's age. Nor is the ongoing bull market the one in which stocks became most expensive, though it's getting close.

UnitedHealth Group came into the index in 2012, while Visa and Nike became Dow components in 2013. More importantly, Apple, UnitedHealth, Visa, and Nike will have to keep doing well if the Dow is to stay in and move further into record territory in 2017 and beyond.
