The U.S. stock market is in the midst of one of its longest surges in history. The popular S&P Index, which tracks the 500 biggest and most well known publicly traded America companies, has risen over 200% since it bottomed out in March of 2009.

To put it another way, if you took roughly the $1,200 a year spent on buying a daily Starbucks grande caffe latte and put it in the stock market in March 2009, you would have $3,600 today.
