<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1122143, member: 3011&quot;]I agree that the automatic pilot crowd putting money into 401ks were hurt, but 2008 was nothing like the condition you described with vast participation by the public as there was in the late 90s and at other market tops.&nbsp; The market was barely higher than a decade before, and the NASDAQ was much lower.&nbsp; In fact, it looked a lot like the silver market today, with enthusiastic participation by some but with the majority ignoring it completely because of the memory of the tech stock crash.&nbsp; The point is you don&#039;t need a raging bull market to have large price declines.&nbsp; It just makes it more memorable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
