OK, makes more sense when you put it that way. I too believe in supply and demand of capital as one determinant of the stock market. However, who's to say where the equilibrium point has settled now? Maybe the confluence of technology and readily available information has made stock investing a permanent part of common man's savings plan. The truth is that we just won't know until decades from now. My guess is that previous bubbles that burst caused investors to lose interest for decades primarily because of the slow dissemination of information prior to the Internet and to the TV and Radio, etc. Now information is ubiquitous and instantly available. Those are big differences due to technology. Anyway, the good thing is that this question will be answered within our lifetimes. I am betting now, based on my belief that dollar cost averaging from here forward will yield good returns if you buy into a diversified portfolio.
