>> to me, historical patterns in the market are repetitive. things never change and people always make the same mistakes...over and over again.

Again, I am challenging the validity of the historical construct, however you define it. Things do change - but the broad changes throughout history follow a pattern. Is this evidence of a true set of relationships existing, or just a construct that we have imposed on history (thus misunderstanding , while convincing ourselves that we understand)?

The question is, is the construct valid? One cannot answer this question by merely observing that a correlation exists. Just because something has "worked" doesn't mean it worked for the reasons that you think.

I am LT bullish as well, but I am open-minded as to what constitutes "long-term".
