I’m sure you have noticed that since the election swung in favor of the former president (who happens to be a business mogul), the stock market has been acting like the best part of a rollercoaster—the fun part—at least for most companies.

I’ll include some jaw-dropping details, memorable years, and “why” each wild swing happened – so we can all appreciate that, yes, history does repeat itself.
