Housing was flat back then because the cost of capital was high. Good fundamentals supported prices via rental inflation. That's a ripe market for massive appreciation once the cost of capital lowers (as we found out later on).

Stock appreciation, LBO's, etc. are a little different because they are occurring with so-so fundamentals but still very low cost of capital.

Stocks will continue to rise until the cost of capital goes up, but unlike housing in 1998-2001, I doubt the fundamentals will be supportive as the cost of capital goes up.

You'll get your bear market then, but not now, not yet.

Now General Motors has broken out to a 2.5 year high. Go figure. Go Generals. I believe a lot of deflationists <cough> said they were gonna go belly up a couple years ago. They may yet.
