What Was the Bullmarket Like?

This gets my vote for most incredible run. I remember it went from 2 to 11 the first day. Right around the market open the next day it was already trading up to the 70's. Those CEO's in China were kings for a day.

There was another Asian IPO (I forget the symbol) that opened around 100 and traded down to 70 I think. I bought a few hundred litterally within a few cents of the bottom. I sold them two dollars higher, only to watch the thing go $60 higher by the close.

Those were the days

 

I'll start buying with reckless abandon on the open.

 

Another classic was ADSP, that short burnt a ton of people, ran from like 2 to 52 in and around the '99 Thanksgiving weekend (I believe it was '99)

Or who can forget CMGI buying Raging Bull for something close to 100 million dollars? That's kind of funny in retrospect as well.

 

That would be RAZF.

Man, those were the days.

 

bought at 90 sold at 100, needless to say I wasn't happy camper for month afterward

 

bough at 90 sold at 100, I wasn't happy camper for month afterward

 

This week's Onion cover story is oddly relevant:

You got it ...

 

I miss the good old time too:

The stock price of BRCM went up four times in five months. QCOM went up over twenty times in one year. CSCO split four times in 28 months.

 

Like every minute in the last hour of today session.
