>>>Wasn't the dive during 1973-74 bear market then a rocketship upward along with the stagflationary recovery the rest of the decade?<< It was about an eight-month rocket ride and then not much really happened for the next eight years, as inflation eroded the real value stock prices. By 1982 I was using margin for the first time in my life, and was fully margined in discounted closed-end funds. If I had only held that position for the next ten years, I would have been a multimillionaire. But I thought inflation was going to continue and oil and gold and especially silver were going to boom. Paul Volcker saw that that did not happen; I didn't think he could do it, but he did.
