Last Time Stocks Looked Like This, the Nasdaq Fell 78%
In 1999, everyone was sure the internet would change the world, and they were right. But that didn’t stop the Nasdaq from losing 78% of its value over the next two and a half years, or keep Cisco, briefly the most valuable company on Earth, from falling more than 80%.
Today the story is AI, and the setup looks uncomfortably familiar. A handful of tech giants carry the whole market, everyone owns the same names, and anyone who raises a warning gets told this time is different.
That’s the exact phrase investors heard in 2000.
We just released a free report naming 10 stocks built for what comes next: companies with real cash flow, pricing power and balance sheets that can take a hit if the AI trade cracks. Get it free before 2027 gets here.

November 6, 1974 – Mike Marshall of the Los Angeles Dodgers becomes the first relief pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. Ironman Marshall set major league records for relievers with innings pitched (206), game appearances (106), consecutive games (14), and games finished (83).
Marshall wanted to play regularly when he signed with the Phillies, and spent four years in their system as a shortstop. But three seasons of league-leading marks in errors and a chronic back problem forced him to the mound. He wound up getting into more games as a relief pitcher than he probably would have as a shortstop. He set single-season records for relief appearances in both the National and American Leagues. "At times with the Dodgers I would have to crawl into the trainer's room," he said. "He would twist and turn me to get my back in shape to pitch that day."
Marshall earned three degrees at Michigan State, including a Ph.D. in kinesiology. He made his own decisions as to his training and pitching methods and was much disliked by his teammates, who saw him as an egomaniacal individualist wholooked down upon them and would not take advice, but always had plenty to give. He clashed with many of his managers, who saw him as a smart-aleck college boy. Those disagreements slowed his progress, and resulted in many of his nine organization changes. Among other things, he believed in long-distance running for pitchers instead of wind sprints, and that by properly training specific muscles, a pitcher can throw every day. His screwball was his most effective pitch; he publicly complained about some of his managers and pitching coaches who didn't want him to use it. In 1969 Pilots manager Joe Schultz objected to Marshall's unorthodox pickoff move (he turned clockwise, rather than counter-clockwise), but it worked for Marshall. He was sold to Houston after the season.

Marshall finally found a home in Montreal, managed by an accepting Gene Mauch. He saved 23 games in 1971, and in 1972 led the NL with 65 appearances and 14 relief wins. In working a ML-record 92 games in 1973, he led in saves (31) and in relief wins and losses (14-11), and was named NL Fireman of the Year.
Afraid that Marshall had thrown too much, and in need of a centerfielder, the Expos traded him to the Dodgers for Willie Davis. Marshall helped L.A. to the 1974 pennant. He broke his own mark with 106 appearances, and established ML records for most relief innings pitched (208) and most consecutive games pitched in a season (13). In postseason play, he allowed one run in 12 innings, and became the first pitcher to finish every game of a World Series. He again was named NL Fireman of the Year, and became the first reliever to win a Cy Young Award.
Marshall's theories fell through in 1975, when he was beset by injuries. He lost 14 in relief to set a since-broken NL mark, and in 1976 was traded to Atlanta. There he was once suspended for refusing to suit up for a game after voicing objections to his handling by manager Dave Bristol. He continued to have injury and personal problems until the Twins, managed by Gene Mauch, took a chance on the free agent in May 1978. Marshall shared the 1979 AL Fireman of the Year Award with Jim Kern, worked a AL-record 90 games, saved a league-high 32 games, and lost 14 games in relief to tie an AL record. But Mauch felt Marshall's vociferous involvement with the Players Association in 1980, when a strike was threatened, was affecting his pitching. Let go on June 6, Marshall filed a grievance, contending he was released because of his union activities. He made a final stop with the 1981 Mets, and retired among the all-time leaders in saves (188) and relief wins (92).
Visit Marshall, he has 23 plus games and interviews in his audio Library.

November 6, 1886 — 1 The Sporting News publishes the official National League averages, which show King Kelly as the batting champ with a .388 average, 17 points ahead of Cap Anson. The paper previously had printed its own stats showing Anson ahead, .374 to .366.
November 6, 1928: Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly approved the state-wide referendum amending the state’s “Blue Laws” to allow professional baseball on Sunday; the referendum prohibits professional baseball within 1,000 feet of a house of worship, delaying Sunday games at Fenway Park until that provision is changed in 1932.
November 6, 1935 — Pitcher Sam Jones finished his major league career after 21 successive American League seasons. Jones posted a 229-217 record with 1223 strikeouts and a 3.84 ERA in 3883.0 innings, pitching for the Indians, Red Sox, Yankees, Browns, Senators and White Sox.
November 6, 1935, famed evangelist and former major leaguer Billy Sunday dies at the age of 72. Sunday played in the National League from 1883 to 1890, spending time with Chicago, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
The only other major league player whose last name was Sunday through 2006, Art Sunday, also played in the majors in 1890. They both make the “Days of the Week” team, along with Rick Monday and Skipper Friday.
November 6, 1951 – Brooklyn Dodgers president Walter O’Malley denies that his minor league team system constitutes a monopoly. He cites the Dodgers’ deficit in 1950.
November 6, 1962 — Answering rumors that senior consultant Branch Rickey wants Stan Musial to retire, St. Louis Cardinals owner August Busch says Musial will play until it is time to become a club vice president. Further, Bing Devine is still running the club.
November 6, 1974, the contents of a letter written by the late Sam Rice to the Hall of Fame are revealed in Cooperstown, New York. In the letter, which had instructed that it be opened after his death, Sam Rice reveals that he did make the catch in the 1925 World Series.
November 6, 1984 — Willie Hernandez wins the American League Most Valuable Player Award, joining Rollie Fingers as the only relief pitchers to be named MVP and Cy Young Award winners in the same season.
Kent Hrbek is second with Dan Quisenberry third. Boston Red Sox slugger Tony Armas finishes seventh, despite winning the home run and RBI titles. The last player to lead in those categories and not win was Ted Williams, twice, in the 1942 and 1947 seasons. The Tiger closer had also edged out fellow relief pitcher Quisenberry for the top pitching prize a week ago.
November 6, 2001 — Denying it’s a negotiating ploy, major league owners give commissioner Bud Selig the authority to “begin the process” of eliminating two ‘to be announced’ teams by a 28-2 vote. Donald Fehr, the Players Association executive director, calls the action of possibly eliminating the Expos, Twins, or Marlins most imprudent and unfortunate, and the worst manner in which to begin the process of negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement. We had hoped that we were in a new era, one that would see a much better relationship between players and owners. Today’s announcement is a severe blow to such hopes.
Milestones November 6
🎙️ Did you know? Jack Chesbro passed away November 6, 1931 in Conway, MA
When Chesbro’s spitball sailed over the catcher’s head and the winning run scored from third on the last day of the 1904 season, the Highlanders (later the Yankees) lost the pennant. At the time, it overshadowed Chesbro’s outstanding season of 41 wins, in which he completed his first 30 starts. He pitched 454 innings in 55 games.
Chesbro’s career began slowly, with a minor league career plagued by the misfortune of being with shaky franchises that folded in mid-season. Finally he joined the Atlantic League, organized by Ed Barrow, and worked his way to the majors. He joined Pittsburgh mid-season of 1899.
Chesbro’s fame as a pitcher began when he pitched the Pirates to their first pennants in 1901 and 1902. In 1902 he picked up the spitball, at a time when its peculiar properties were first being discovered by a number of pitchers. He strung together enough starring seasons to offset his relatively short career. He had only 12 seasons in the major leagues, 9 as a regular starter. Still, with his extraordinary 1904 season, he gained election to the Hall of Fame in 1948.
After Chesbro’s pitching skills had dried up and he left the major leagues, he began a prosperous career as a merchant in New England, running a saw mill and lumber yard in North Adams, MA. He continued to pitch, appearing with semi-pro teams, traveling to take on mill town teams who found the pitching of the former major league superstar easy to hit.
He was baseball coach at Amherst College in 1911, and in 1924 Clark Griffith, his manager in 1904, brought him back to the major leagues for a brief role as a coach for the Washington Senators. Although the team was to win the pennant, fans were slow to respond and Chesbro was dropped for payroll reasons.
