And where was it in July 2001? July 2000? Most
of us who have been in the market for longer than
five years are just trying to recover.


Get real, what was it BEFORE 2000?
It increased dramatically in the few years prior to 2000.
That supercharged stock market increase was substantially influenced by
factors other than REALITY.

That's wrong too. While 5 percent is right, we're not at the record
low levels seen in the 90s.

The 90s is a long time. In 1990, the unemplyment rate was 5.6%, rising to 7.5%
in 1992. By 1994, it had slowly drifted down to 6.4%. It continued to drift down
to just below 5% by 1998. 1999 and 2000 were the lowest at 4.2%, from which its
bounced up and down a bit.
