Too bad the universe is only unfolding as it should for fleeting moments. In the past 15 years, it has been business as unusual.

Maybe the turning point is when it's been whacky for so long that everybody stares at charts to tell them everything. With absolutely nobody pouring through fundamentals, the the entire system is operate completely decoupled from the underlying businesses as if in some alternate dimension where down is up and left is right, where stocks and bonds and gold move ONLY because of the TA traders. Pretty soon the inevitable bubbles with some new form of fictitious capital develop and grow into gigantic monstrosities for which all of mankind is forever grateful, for they all cherish the newly earned wealth and plan early retirements.

Then, suddenly, when the last stock investor throws in the towel and stares at the same charts as everybody else, it all vanishes into a black hole, with only vague shadows later emerging on the pages of books conducting the postmortem of yet another shattered era, complete with dire warnings that help the next bubble develop years later, as everybody pats themselves on the back assuring themselves that they've learned from history.
