Growth Vs Value Performance

Since the bull market began on October 9th, 2002, the S&P 500 is up 84.4%, the S&P 500 Value index is up 102.8%, and the S&P 500 Growth index is up 68.2% (not total return).  Since the October 9th, 2007 peak in the S&P 500, however, growth stocks have handily outperformed both the S&P 500 and the S&P 500 Value index.  As shown in the second chart below, the Growth index is down 4.93%, while the Value index is down 11.99%.  If the market ends up making new highs before hitting the -20% bear market threshold (keeping the longer-term bull market intact), will the second act be led by growth instead of value?
