Here we could have US markets crashing like 1987 or 1930 if we get more calamities or exploding like Argentina a earlier this decades if hyperinflation develops. This is a common misconception about Argentina's stock market. The crisis developed from 1999 to 2002, with inflation peaking in april 2002 (at 10% monthly rate!). If you look at the Argentina's MERVAL stock index chart, you will notice that the stock index had lost 75% of its value from its peak in late 97 to bottom in early 2002. The explosion really started in mid 2002, presaging the inflation control that started around the same time - the index has gone up 10X from the mid 2002 bottom but part of that explosion can be attributed to the commodity growth cycle. marketwatch.com
