Your contention seems to be that it doesn't matter because of the previous drop (under Bush) of 49% but that only holds true if you're not actively in the market, it ignores dollar cost averaging not to mention all the smart folks who went all in when the market was close to the bottom. I give you credit for being smart enough to buy when it's down and if you did that or at least didn't sell and kept buying just like you did when the market was up then you should have done very well under Obama. The notion that it was an "8 year beatdown" is just ludicrous.</blockquote>
