happy birthday, bull

[Doug Henwood]

Wall Street's great bull market, which may well have died sometime 
last year, celebrates its 19th birthday today. The Dow, which closed 
on August 12, 1982, at 776.9, rose 1.4% on Friday the 13th to close 
at 788.1. The recession ended a couple of months later, and the 
Roaring Eighties were soon underway.
