Interesting post. So what this means is that no matter what calamity comes along and no matter how many negative years one may experience the XAO always ends up going to newer highs, >>> >>eventually<<. 2007 was the previous peak, it took 12 years to get there again back in 2019. How long will it take before we hit the highs of 7255 on Feb 20th. 2020 again????
