RE:"But I came of age at a time when Nixon extended the war (killing hundreds of thousands and destroying the economy) so he would be re-elected. I just don't see Clinton's foibles as being so terrible, and think that the impeachment was a waste of time (I know that many disagree)." Excellent revisionist history there. <G> Humm, seems I remember Nixon ending the war and the draft. The real escalation of the VIET NAM war took place in the Johnson's 6 years. Nixon took too long to end it of course but finally did. Usually wars stimulate an economy. Surely this contributed to the inflationary cycle Ford and Carter had to deal with. Not to mention Oil... RE:"A lot of it may have been chance, luck, and the work of others (like Bush initiating the recovery and Greenspan keeping it going). But Clinton seems to have been the right man for the times these past few years. Right or wrong, he's gone in a few" I still think you have to attribute most of this decade long boom cycle in the stock market to sex. Namely, the creation of the baby boom generation. 1945-1964. Of course, there are other things. Sorry, I had to reply. Jim
