Just some interesting stuff to think about.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average peaked at 386 points in September 1929.
Then came the crash.
The Dow did not see 386 again until November 1954!!!
25 years.
How many of you knew that?
In September 1987, the Dow peaked at 2667.
Then came the crash.
The Dow did not see 2667 again until May 1990.
A little more than two and a half years.
In January 2000, the Dow peaked at 10,940.
Then the dot com bubble popped.
The Dow did not see 10,940 again until February 2006.
Almost exactly six years.
A year and a half after that, the Dow peaked at 14,093 in October 2007.
Then came the crash.
The Dow did not see 14,093 again until February 2013.
Just under five and a half years.
