well, i do think there was some causality involved...the rise in oil prices in the 70's translated into a big jump in overall inflation, and correspondingly high interest rates, which in turn produced the recession and bear market of 73-74.

remember, in real terms the rise in oil prices in the '70's was much much larger than today's. in today's dollars the second oil shock barrel was at $73.
