So you will probably be taking a few years off from the stock market to pursue other interests?

Eric, it is feeling more like '74 every day.
And while there were great bargains back then, don't forget that it several years to reap gains from those bargains

We aren't even in the same area code as the Depression. Heck, we're a long ways off from 1974 also.

Gotta agree. I think Greenspan has done a pretty good job breaking the back of inflation. There is no gain without some pain.

Inflation is the greatest tax of all on us.....

My only complaint is how tech has been hit but it will come back. That is the one area that will really help the balance of payments situation going forward. It's what we do best selling to the world. The 50's analogy really fits here!

I don't know about Ruben, I didn't see much legislation pass in the last 8 years that really helped the economy.

What really helped is not opening the spending spigots and allowing revenues to catch up. Now we are paying the highest combined (local, state and federal) taxes in history.

That's a drag! <gg>

1974 or Depression didn't have so much speculation built in the market though. I think the financial sector will be in trouble soon. Look at the amount of start-ups that failed, CLECs that are on the verge of bankruptcy. Let's hope Greenspan doesn't bail the banks out.
