actually that chart is a little suspicious... the list of "major market bottoms". We had many more major market bottoms than just post-depression and 70s inflation/stagflation periods. Sure these were probably the most major just because those financial periods were the most devastating. The P/Es were I'm sure at the very lowest during these times. But it was not true that if you missed a "buying opportunity" in 1949 that you had to wait until 1974 for the next one- we were not in a bear market for the next 25 years, in fact the 50s were second only to the 90s for market returns.
