Been thinking about those points.

Seems that markets and economies were much smaller then so bubbles, currency inflation, etc. and therefore dislocations came quicker and were more violent. We are more resilient, bigger, so the impact of what we think are market anomalies takes longer to build. Tools exist, too, to manage them which did not exist then. They carry their own problems but they do keep catastrophe at bay.

But the principle is the same. We got awfully close to the precipice in 2005, and we are walking towards it again.

NB: NGD at 5.55. What a gift! Too bad I have so much of it already.
