Chris, you still haven't told me how P/E ratios of 50 or more, with the 'E' based on pro forma fantasies, was sustainable. Surely the government cashed in on the capital gains taxes, but left a lot of people carrying over capital losses $3K at a time after 2000. Either way, you are correct though in saying that government fiscal responsibility was the key. It's all about the spending. Raising income taxes only makes sense coming out of a recession, but who does that? Tenchusatsu
