"...The more obvious course of action would be to go back to 1983 and calculate the gorillas during each of the correction/recovery periods that they were trading. If the work was divided up between a group of people..."

I think that's an excellent idea...I volunteer for Intel.

Shooting from the hip, I remember that CSCO was approximately cut in half in the 1998 meltdown, but it held on quite well thru most of it, and then capitulated at the very end -- but bounced back VERY quickly -- and if you weren't right there to catch it, it was off-and-running again without you.

PS -- know a good site to gather historical quotes?...the one I use only goes back 10 years.

Hey, Bruce, great series of posts--very helpful in establishing and maintaining perspective and keeping the faith. Well done.

And shamsaee, kudos for the Maoist self-criticism. Just think of it this way: now you, too, like practically everybody here, will be able to say to the next poor schmuck: "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!"
