March 10th-day in history

[DOGS THAT BARK]

March 10, 2000 the NASDAQ closed at an all time high of 5048.62---spurred on by an over zealous dot.com boom--but the correction and recession as result hit with the nasdaq shedding 1,500 points and still dropping when Bush took office on
11-7-00.
Along with dot.com bust came loss of significant # jobs as well as millions in tax revenue.

Ouch! Painful memories of March 2000 revisited.

Yes, too bad Greenspan had to step in and try to slow down the economy. Of course all of his moves during the Bush-Gore campaign where in favor of Bush. Now, Greenspan is trying to help Bush sell his SS scam. Not sure why the taxpayers should pay for Bushes tour to push this scam. But ok.
Even though he is running two wars Bush still can't create jobs. And Greenspan still can't get the stock market up.
I wonder how those personal accounts would be doing if they invested 5 years ago today?

A few folks should look at the how well the market did 68 to 74. They would have been so happy to be safe in the S S.

Can you imagine, this government owning 25% of Wall St before taxes with your money? Can't wait!
