In 1982, the Dow hovered below 1000. Then, the market rose and rapidly gained speed until it peaked above 11,000. Noted journalist and financial reporter Maggie Mahar has written the first book on the remarkable bull market that began in 1982 and ended just in the early 2000s. For almost two decades, a colorful cast of characters such as Abby Joseph Cohen, Mary Meeker, Henry Blodget, and Alan Greenspan came to dominate the market news.
This inside look at that seventeen-year cycle of growth, built upon interviews and unparalleled access to the most important analysts, market observers, and fund managers who eagerly tell the tales of excesses, presents the period with a historical perspective and explains what really happened and why.
"Highly readable and insightful . . . makes a devastating case against the contention that the market is almost perfectly efficient." —The New York Times
"Offers individual investors prescriptive data on how to position oneself for the next bull-market cycle, as well as proven benchmarks for evaluating and selecting companies." —International Herald Tribune
"Mahar imparts a forward-looking and worrisome lesson . . . Intriguing reading." —The Boston Globe
