affirmative...this is NOT Japan, they are losers. when faced with defeat they commit hari-kari. we commit pie-e-kari....banana cream is my favorite....and get back into the fight.. furthermore they only had one market. If all our stuff was lumped into one market we would still be crashing, but with mutiple markets...NAZ NYSE etc... money gets rotated around....its not all in one basket that can be dragged down relentlessly by one overbloated, overpriced, overhyped sector. muchbadodor

I am mostly a lurker ... Japan has a tremendous demographic problem with a whole generation missing. Just an uneducated opinion. Well lurqer to lurker, I think you are "spot on". Troughs in productive working age cohorts in the U.S. in the 30s and 70s and Japan in the 90s all coincided with secular (at least decade length) bear markets. For believers in "it's the economy", without workers (and consumers) there is no economy. For those trying to make the case that we are at the beginning of a secular bear, the demographics are an irrelevant coincidence. By the fall, we'll know whether we've been in a bear correction or are still in a secular bear. With no claim about education, that's JMO. lurqer
