David, Re: "Great thread idea." Thanks and welcome! Re: "big bear market of the early 1970's was step in step with inflation and recession. Life magazine June 5, 1970 headline "Inflation, Recession and a Frantic Bear Market". Interesting issue." It would be interesting to hear some stories on this. Re: "Inflation has not been confirmed and will take more than one or two indications to do so." How is this determined? Re: "but the bull will continue on for a while longer." That would be nice. Anyone recall what the stock market return was in the 70's after correcting for inflation? I recall from my finance course this was a pretty dismal figure. Just curious. Amy J
