Exactly right. The Dow did quite well under the hyperinflation and unemployment of the Jimbo Carter administration. You can look it up.

Not exactly. The DJIA was at about $4,500 when Carter took office in January 1977. It was below $3,100 when he left in January 1981.

Uh, no. The Dow was going nowhere until the summer of 82 (or was it 83?) Then it took off like a rocket. During the Carter years, the PE ratios of blue chip stocks were insanely low.

I just did.

Dow Jones average was 975.20 in 1976.
In 1980 the Dow Jones average was 963.99

I'm not impressed.
