Did you factor in that many people now are continually contributing to their 401k's much of which finds its way into the markets whereas in the past such was not the case? I wonder how this might factor into drawing up a conclusion for fair value in the markets...not sure exactly how you'd quantify this in terms of fair value, etc, however, its got to have an impact.

<I believe that an insight into Wall Street's way of thinking and evaluating markets is very beneficial to individual investors.> as long as WS can hold sway over the majority of investors in decision making then yes it can be beneficial to the investor that who while not of the crowd strategically follows the crowd. But we also know,historically,that when WS loses the public trust,anything they say is simply ignored. Just read an FDR speech in 1933 the lays the blame for the U.S. crisis right on WallStreet,saying the country was brought to it's knees by rampant greed driven speculators and the contagion of fraud and corruption and the destruction of business ethics. History is never new:) methinks.
