MrGreenJeans Presents...The Honor Roll(That's Entertainment) The following for your evening entertainment was taken from the The Stock Market Bubble Thread moderated by Roger A. Babble...I mean Babb..for your entertainment I present the following...I say tomato you say Tommaso...This one's a riot folks: To: Philipp (1177 ) From: Tommaso Thursday, Aug 20 1998 9:34AM ET I agree with you. 1929-1932; 1973-1974; and here we are, 24 years later, with valuations higher than ever and with the frothiest stocks frothier than almost anything seen in the century. I also agree that although a few people will make money on the downside, the great majority of prudent souls would be best to be in cash (at least I take that to be the implication of what you said). This worked very well for me in 1973-74, resulting in a lasting doubling of my capital at the time--a 100% gain--with very little risk. Even at 20%-per-year gains in the latter part of this bull market, that was still an awfully good return for the period 1971-1975--and it did not go away. Hope this guy keeps his day job!
