OCU> The rest of the markets came through it pretty much unscathed.


Tell that to my 401K.
The S&P 500 - which is not NASDAQ - lost nearly
50% of its value.

(VFINX is Vanguards S&P 500 index fund.)

. . .

VFINX just got back to 2000 value in Aug 2007

VFINX just got back to 2000 value in Aug 2007

I look at the 10 year chart, and VFINX, Vgd 500 Index, just got back to 2000 year value in Aug 2007. It took 7 years to come back to the 2000 level.

Can someone please explain why that makes the Vgd 500 Index such a good value?

WHAT "Y2K stock market collapse"?

Granted, there was the popping of the so-called 'tech bubble' but that really only had a significant impact on the NASDAQ. The rest of the markets came through it pretty much unscathed. However, comparing that to what happened 8 years later, it was hardly a "collapse". Between September 2007 and February 2009, ALL of the markets dropped by OVER 50%.
