Even if we have a 1930s style depression we should still be at higher levels because of both the real growth in the economy, the growth in population, and inflation over the last 70 years.

A lot of astute investors have been kicked around by bulls over the last few years as being various kinds of big bad bears. This chart shows why they, and not the bulls, have been essentially, in principle, on the right side of the market since 1998, when the a-d line topped out. (this is similar to Bill Huebl's SCY indicator, except that this chart is indexed) martincapital.com Notice how in 1998 the indicator reached the levels that were reached in 1973, 1980, and 1987. The remaining rise that was left, in 1999, was solely due to the internet bubble, with all the suppliers to the internet industry benefiting while it lasted. Rational investing, not momentum chasing, said to sidestep irrationality. Of course all of that has got nothing to do with where we are now. -g-
