... stocks blow off every year ... Bangladesh in 1996 ... Did Jim Rogers write this article? <g> ... The Global Financial Index of British stocks ... recorded a high of 155.61 during the South Sea Bubble in June 1720. It wasn't until July 1968 that the All-Share index finally broke through the old high of 1720. In other words, someone who had bought stocks at the top of the South Sea Bubble would have had to wait 250 years to get their principal back and not suffer a capital loss. Of course, dividends, not capital gains, would have returned shareholders' investment long before 1968, but this should remind investors that stocks do not always go up ... Ho Ho Ho! I'm just trying to build a nest egg for my great, great, great grandchildren anyway, like Paul Engel. <g> Tom
