The Dow  topped out in February of 1966 at 995. By September of that year the 
Dow had  tumbled to 744. The Dow then rallied to a high of 943 in September 
of '67. By  March of '68 the Dow had fallen to 825, only to climb to a highly

December of '70.  

By April of '71 the Dow had climbed back to 950, only to fall to 869 in  
February of '72. A big rally then took the Dow (unconfirmed) to a record high

the Dow  had collapsed to 788. Think that was bad - by December of '74 the 
Dow had sunk  to a bear market low of 577. At that time, the gurus and
