When you stray so far from the mean, a reversion to the mean should not be a slow or non-violent process, or do you think they can pull it off? Too much was bet on never reverting don't you think? I guess there is a psychological and supply/demand aspect to it, but the former becomes very important at some point (it already has)

After so many years of the stock market being above the mean, it wouldn't surprise me to see years of the market being below the mean, but it would surprise me very much to see widespread economic collapse. There's no justification for it, IMO. I guess that depends on whether or not you think the stock market is the economy. I think you are saying the economy will be ok with a weak stock market. I tend to believe that widespread economic collapse will be the result of the stock market drastically declining. JMHO
