Did you run the bottom detector in the '08-'09, or '01 era? Curious if the major indicator fired then, and how "big" was the register.

I've been talking a lot of folks off the panic ledge in the last couple days. Talking with my daughter about how this could be a minor sale/buying opportunity, of the type I've discussed metaphorically in the past but now we have bona-fide real time numbers to examine.

This was a good week for lessons - NMAX provided some also - I showed her that price is what you pay, value is what you get, and we looked at financials (I am proud that she knew the basics of reading a balance sheet before she was first eligible to vote). And that little number is over 80% off its post-IPO high.
