Probably. Everything is Greenspan's fault. :) The thing about Dent's analysis is that by its nature population growth trends are a long term planning effect on the economy and stock market. I know Dent attempts to pinpoint within a couple years how those trends play out, but the fact is that if his work is good and the correlation between population growth to the economy is high, then he may have missed the call by 1-3 years, but that doesn't matter. He's calling long term trends in the span of decades. So in the scheme of things 1-3 years is nothing. That's the problem with most people...they think it terms of a few months and call that long term. Anyone who's in their 40s should be thinking in terms of 1 to 2 decades. And then if you are younger, which I suspect many on this thread are, then you should be thinking in terms of 2-3 decades or more. Given that, fluctuations like the one we've been experiencing in the last 2.5 years should not be paid attention to at all, except as a great opportunity for dollar cost averaging in to the market.
