Looking at the chart, my question is why did the number of listed companies [skyrocket] 160%, in two or three years, during the late 70's/early 80's!? It took approximately 13 years to rise another 100%, until '96.

Twenty-seven years since the high is not exactly a "plunge."

Why did it rise so quickly in the late 70's? Does anyone know???


Thanks.
