Yesterday (3/5/2013) the DJIA passed its all-time high (not adjusted for inflation); the SP500 has only a couple % to do the same.

Going back to 1950, daily SP500 closing prices were identified which were both an all-time high (starting at 1950), AND the first such occurrence in 100 trading days. There were 19 such instances. For these 19 new all time highs, checked the return for the next 1 day, 5d, 10d, and 20d - here comparing the means to zero:

One-Sample T: 1d, 5d, 10d, 20d

Test of mu = 0 vs not = 0
