I thought Japan had a number of "partial cleansings" where every 3-5 years they clean up one sector of the economy - constuction firms, then banks, then something else.

Judging by how often airlines are cleansed in every part of the world, including Switzerland, they must be snow white by now :-)

Maybe human beings, myself included, have a longing for the dramatic that makes them miss the mundane. The slow erosion of value because of hidden inflation, or the cumulative increase in life span from numerous small medical and public health advances may have a profound effect on portfolios. A 2% adjustment every 2 years might also qualify.

Meanwhile, we wait around for a Wagnerian Gotterdamerung, or Greenspanerung... which may not arrive.
