While we have all heard the phrase "history repeats itself," very few people properly apply long-term history to investing. Worse yet, the default assumption of most investors is to think it's different this time and find themselves buying into financial bubbles or cashing out near a bear market low. Clearly, investors need to spend more time studying investment history. A good place to start is by studying past market corrections and what happened during the years that followed.

But throughout history, the cliched comparison has been no mere metaphor for many stock exchanges. The crippling or disruption of exchanges by wars is nothing new, from the New York Stock & Exchange Board (today's NYSE) suspending trading in seceding states in 1861, to the arduous history of the Belgrade Stock Exchange, to the 1983 suspension of the Beirut Stock Exchange after nearly a decade of civil war in Lebanon.
