Stocks have been posting gains in a manner reminiscent of a no-correction bull market in the mid-1990s, Mike Santoli of Yahoo! Finance said Friday.
"Not only did it gain 34 percent, but it did it in probably the most gentle, low-drama way you could imagine going up 34 percent," he said. "You never had a 4 percent pullback."
Stocks ended the week higher with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 closing at new record highs.

On CNBC's "Fast Money," Santoli said that this year's rally year to date matches the one from 1994.
Santoli also dispelled the idea that the late 1990s was a worry-free investing environment and added that it wasn't a reason to believe that the bull market would continue through the rest of 2013.
"I would be more worried now. I think it's a higher-risk environment in general," he said. "I mean, I wouldn't actually take this as any kind of tactical cue at all. I just think it kind of defines the potential upside risk if nothing goes wrong."
