We'll see. This is 1907 Banking panic. 2003 was similar as well, only tech bubble did not fully recover. While 1929 was different, the DOW/gold ratio suggests 2008 was not 1929 at all, more like a cyclical recession for a longer term bear market (in real terms) that was already in progress since 2000. Moreover, that bear is scheduled to end some time within 5 years. Leading economic indicators suggest somehow the US recovery will be strong. I don't believe it myself, and I am bearish inside, but that is my reading of LEI.
