Sorry J.T. This bull has been long since 1988 at the tender age of 20 and is remaining long for another decade. I just can't play along with the 1987, 1929, follow the masses, doom and gloom theories and hopes, and fears for a crash. It doesn't compute with me. I'm not going to waste my time and piss away a golden opportunity on this bull run, when there's nothing out there to tell me a global crash is about to happen. Because that's what it's going to take. Not now. Not when Asia, Europe, and Latin America are fighting their way out of the economic mess they created years ago. I can't wait to sink even more money into my International, and asian growth funds this spring. Europe and Asia are going to outperform the U.S. next year. It's their turn and I'm going to be there to cash in on it. Maybe it's because I live out here in Silicon Valley, working with all this technology that is changing our lifes every day for the better. Soon, the biomed companies will come out in full force and give us new wonder drugs even better than Viagra, that the baby boomers will devour, that my generation will devour to remain young, alert, flexible to change with the growing technology. This is my time and I'm going to milk it for all it's worth. Twick, the eternal optimist and possibly the biggest fool. lol !! What the heck. You only live once, right ?

In the 1920's and 1970's the crash's were caused by Macroeconomic issues. In the 1920's it was tarrif barriers, and lack of securities regulation. In the 1970's it was an oil shock, and the costs of Vietnam catching up with the economy. I agree that there will be a period in my lifetime where something happens again, but when? There has also never been a time where the US had so dominated certain industries like we do today. The closest period would be the post war 50's. Obviously 50-70's was a great stock period.
