just from a historical perspective, has there ever been an interupted 20 yr bull mkt that has resumed after a 3 year bear mkt ? those who dont learn from history are destined to repeat it... as an aside yes, it could be different this time but, I simply don't think from an economic and historical perspective the variables are there to support your hypothesis. c4t

Forget the other ten facts and all the reality of what is going on -- and that's giving a lot. Just answer me this. What are the odds, based on history, that a 17-year bull market is followed by only a 3-year bear that ends with historically high PE ratios? I remain, SOROS p.s. What percentage of stock market participants do you really think bought only in 1987 at the bottom, or 1982 at the bottom, etc.? I'd venture that most bought throughout the 1990's.
