Even if I gaze into your world, it seems that a balanced market price remains about as fleeting as the call of the 17 year locust.


One could have said the same in 1932. We just had the mother of all manias on Wall Street, one that laid the twenties in the shade. There have been long periods during which fair value and the market at least remained within shouting distance (these periods were used to establish the idea of fair value), but in periods of great booms and busts the orbits grow much larger.

A bear market cures the casino psychology by returning a healthy amount of investor skepticism.
