Tim! Tim! You are cherry picking your data. Please! Please! Use the hard data numbers for the DJIA from Reagan to Bush II, excluding the numbers from Clinton. Once you do that, then tell me what the percentage gain in the DJIA was. Tim, you are using a lower base number (950) to get your selective percentage gain. Then you switch to a higher base number to get your percentage lost. You've added a cherry picked number, when if you merely take a starting point number and the ending number for the time period you get the factual number. Tim, you are using the hard number of the DJIA to come up with your percentage, but cherry picking and adding a third entry point is false...use the starting point and ending point.....and tell me if the DJIA gained or lost. If there was a gain based on this number then tell me what it was. If the DJIA was lower, then tell me the number. If this number is positive then tell me the percentage gained. If this number is LOWER then tell me the percentage lost. Can you just do that?
