Bull!

In 1982, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was under 1000. Then, the market rose and gained speed until it peaked above 11000 in March 2000. Journalist Maggie Mahar has written a book about the remarkable bull market that began in 1982 and ended early in the new decade. During this 17-year cycle of growth, a colorful cast of characters such as Abby Joseph Cohen, Mary Meeker, Henry Blodget, and Alan Greenspan came to dominate financial news. These inside accounts explain what happened during that period, why it happened and how it affected most people.
