Hmm, well the early 60s were good for stocks, the late 60s not so good. The real value of the S&P 500 was up 48% from 1960-65 - and down 23% from 1965-70. The real S&P was up less than 2% (not annual, but cumulative) from 1964-69. So maybe Prechter's onto something!

Riot Grrrl - a mix of punk and girl groups - was early 90s. The first Bikini Kill album came out in '92. Those weren't great years for stocks either - average returns were just about 5% a year in the early 90s.
