Correction - "not even half" as they say... Way more than half of the value of the US stock market has been lost in the last few years.
Thank you W, and thank you neocons for the most disastrous US Presidency since WWII. Like a bumper sticker seen recently: "Never Thought I'd Miss Nixon" - today's gold price - $950/oz. In April 2003, gold was as low as $325/oz If you had a $million stock portfolio back then, you would have lost almost 2/3 of its "real" value in international terms.
