'Broadly, the comparison sure isn't 100% valid since more than a few things are quite different and the Ponzi picture is one of them, but the parallels I've shown in the various charts are both striking and workable... so far' Yes, the main differences this time are the unwinding of the housing/credit and long term treasury bubbles.. I'm now convinced the Fed most fears a repeat of 1973-74 occurring before the unwinding of this repeat of the credit collapse of 1989-93 gets to the final stages.. It is quite possible the Bear Sterns bailout and low in the likes of Citigroup signalled a bottom at least in the financial stocks like Fall 1990 but that was an era of disinflation and declining rates very different in that regard from today..
