What were you doing in 1997?

[Larry T. Spider]

The last time the dow was this low was 12 years ago. I was a freshman in high school.

Also, do you have a guess as far as the bottom? I thought the psychological barrier of 7k wouldnt be crossed. I was wrong.....

schemeing to get the Longhorn fondation to move my other 4 seats across the stadium so I would have 8 overlapping seats on two rows. You have to wait for REALLY ****** seasons to get them to work that kind of magic for you. ;-)

I remember when some crazy nut predicted the DJIA would reach 5,000 someday.

That was back in 1975 or 80 when it was stumblin' along around 1,000.

Oh, in 1997? I was retiring then.

And I turned 21 that year. I was going to get back together with my high school sweetheart until she told me she had herpes.

She did go to SWT.

1996 was the first year I made really good money and had substantial money in the bank.

I invested $10K in a company called Cisco.

Currently looking for a company to invest another $10K in, will let you know when I find one.
