"I think retail investors are gone for this generation. Boomers got burned once on tech stocks, and then many got burned a second time on real estate. Now retirement is looming and they can't afford to take risks anymore even if they wanted to. 401ks are getting raided to pay bills. From here on out for a lot of years, I think the stock market will just be the pros. Just a dwindling number of fund managers with their algorithms and a few isolated traders who've managed to walk through the valley of death and survive" Maybe that's why these things go in 17-20 year cycles. It takes that long to completely fleece one generation and bring in another naive set of suckers. If you use 2000 as the end of the last equity boom, then we've got another 7 years, unless of course we really do turn Japanese.
