Nope...we rode it out.

OTOH...you aren't a market expert, nor an historian.

I AN an expert, vis-a-vis, this nations' markets ( as well as the ones in the UK ) and have extensive knowledge about it.

OTOH...it doesn't take anything but "common sense" ( which isn't so "COMMON" anymore; sadly ) to know that 1) markets don'y only go one way 2) higher taxes slows markets 3) less money keeps people from buying certain things ( including stock, options, and big ticket items!) or finding ways to avoid paying high prices.

Honestly I don’t think you’re an expert. I’m not an expert either, but I’m in the top 5% and retired at age 53. I know.... That makes me a moron to you.
