Does this remind you of those science fiction novels of a dysfunctional future with small cells of terrorists randomly taking out parts of a highly interdependent infrastructure? Life always on a precarious edge? Niven, Pournelle? Those guys weren't writing fiction; they were just writing headlines and were a bit ahead of the newspapers.

In many ways I'd say the market levels are simply returning to "normal"- -to the values they would have had had the '90s bubble not occurred.

Here's what I mean:

There are any number of trendlines you could draw on that chart, but one would connect 1982 and 1992 and would put GE at about 25. And we're nearly there. (OUCH!)
Another one from 1982 to 1995 would put GE about 20 (OUCHER!)
This shows that '90s bubble:
