The bottom was September 2009, not 2008.

### REPLY:
If I remember correctly the Dow had several days after the Lehman collapse where it totally cratered for a week straight. I’m talking multiple 5-10% negative days. That it slid on until March was an afterthought because most of the damage had been done especially in terms of investor sentiment. Point is, those rallies you mention were basically generated by Bernake himself, they didn’t happen out of thin air as this seems. Maybe I’m remembering wrong though
