A 2001 Meltdown Would Drop Nasdaq 19,000 Points

On March 10, 2000, the Nasdaq-100 traded at 5,048.62. On October 9, 2002, it had dropped to 1,114, down 78% from its peak.

Another would be raging inflation caused by tariffs. (This leaves a major war out of the equation.) A drop of the same magnitude would take t...
