I actually remember 1974. I was a senior in HS and had a real interest in learning about the stock market after my Grandfather got me interested. He was CPA that invested in the market when he had money. He was a runner on Wall Street in around 1930 as a kid so had seen it all.
In 1974 he bought a number of lower priced low PE stocks that went up many times in the proceeding years. One was a Steel Company I think named Athlon and a # of others whos names escape me.
Gramps favorite saying in regards to the stock market was "You pay your money and you take your chances" May he rest in peace (1997)and may he know that I miss him.
