Hi Tim, yes, One thing that history has shown us is that when things go wrong, some times a whole number of things go wrong and pile up on each other, within a given time window. When the Hong Kong Market crashed in 1997, they had problems on several fronts. They even had a problem of disease in their chickens and they had to have a widespread slaughter, and they had a horrible "Red Tide" that killed so many fish and so people in those industries suffered business losses in the same window as the HK market collapse. So we could be still very early in the game with problems in the mid east......... the stock market may need to deflate more....... since this bad luck factor could expand, we might even see a major CA. earthquake in the next 6 months, or some other significant disaster. Just several things going wrong within a given time window. It seemed like we had several years in the 1990's where we had just so many things go right. thus is the cyclical aspect of life.
