eight years. And of course, there were people who made a lot of money in that period of time by just buying and holding good companies in eight years. So looking at a world probably of significant less liquidity, maybe not back to that. But we've got to remember there was a time when that was a normal holding period and what we've seen recently is abnormal. That chart's really fascinating because it includes 1929 in it. And I can't remember. I mean, that sort of liquidity short-term holding period. I mean, I think it was the 1970s before we got back to where we were in 1929. But in 1929, it seemed perfectly normal. And then it was abnormal for decades. Does that also mean that we could see more companies being at the issue dividends? Yeah, absolutely. We have an interesting chat on that for people who want to go on to live in the state's website. We've got a guy called Dan Paris on there talking about dividends and a different way of rewarding investors. It's a great point to me (88/99)
