Lemme see. 1970, 73-74, 81-82, 90-91, 00-02. I was just a 22-year old in 1970, but (much) older friends of my parents were neighbors of Dr. Edwin Land (polaroid founder) in Palo Alto and I had dinner with all of them one day he lost 100 million or so. That's about my only memory of that bear. I did have shares in Natomas then and it just kept going up because they discovered oil in Indonesia. Natomas got me hooked. 73-74 was much more memorable because of all the news flow, gas lines, Watergate, etc. I was just starting to buy stock in a stock plan then and everyone kept telling me how lucky I was to be getting ABC stock so cheap. I was 26 then so stocks were a low priority. 81-82 I lost alot of my side money, but made alot more back from the 82 bottom. That one is as clear as day. 90-91 I was charting Cisco, Microsoft, Compaq, and Dell on my 386-33 ...but liked the idea of owning Silicon Graphics better and didn't have a clue what a router was!
