I don't believe that is possible, much less in the cards in that type of time frame. Over months or years, maybe. First, trading will shut down; second, government will intervene in some fashion; third, none of the masses will be able to bite the bullet and sell until they would consider it a why bother at this point type action; fourth, margin debt ain't all that large so forced liquidation may not be that bad on the market overall, but gov't will be there to help if it gets out of hand; fifth, hedge funds are scary but BubbleBoy will be there to backstop ..... It would take time to come back reality - months and years.
