%%Who on today was on back then? Are threads/posts from back then still accessible? I'd love to go back and read some of them.
Heck, I think this forum was founded in 1997? Would LOVE to see what people are saying way back then about stock that are huge today, like Amazon for example. I bet people were panning it left and right as having a ridiculously high PE and not being worthy of a purchase. I know that was definitely my thinking at the time!
Oh, the good ole' days, how I miss them.
WSJ has for many years promoted low PE stocks like DOW[DIA]; which tend to underperform and or go lower\LOL.[ IBD knows + taught better.
]NOT a stock tip/ AMZN has been good % in QQQ, NQ.... for many years.I REMEMBER\ it did not look like MARCH 2009 was the2008 bear market bottom, but it was, known in hindsight.
Especially since Stock Traders Almanac[Hirsch] forecaster=JAN barometer =down JAN = down market that year 88%.JAN 2009 SPY was down/ but great uptrend year.
UP JAN[SPY] = up market that year =88% of time.
