More likely, both shared the same cause: extremely low stock valuations, as investors had largely given up on stocks by the end of the secular bear market that started in '68. Similarly, the previous secular bull market that started in 1950 was sparked by low valuations. In both cases -- 1950 and 1982 -- stocks traded at single-digit P/E ratios, and were cheap according to other metrics as well. <br /><br />This is a pattern that repeats itself: after the end of a long secular bull market, investors flee stocks, and they get cheaper on a valuation basis (P/Es go down, dividend yields go up, etc.). At some point, they become attractive enough that investors come back in, and that's the start of a new secular bull market. In between, there are shorter (<5 years) cyclical bull and bear cycles, but the secular bear markets tend to last roughly as long as the bull markets that preceded them. E.g., the 1950-1966 secular bull (16 years) was followed by the 1966-1982 secular bear (16 years) which was followed by the 1982-2000 secular bull (18 years) which has been followed by the current secular bear (2000- ).DaveinHackensackhttp://www.thehackensack.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-50530702938503469702012-08-13T03:12:58.238-07:002012-08-13T03:12:58.238-07:00On the links issue:

Means you're always bringing in new readers.<br /><br /><i>All that open borders and mass third world immigration happened in places where shareholders either did not much exist or were screwed over for a vaunted socialistic third way: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Germany with their "social model" having unions and the government on board and not worrying about prices on the Bourse. Italy has no real stock market at all, its nearly all privately owned companies, and its awash with Africans and Arabs. The same holds true for Spain.</i><br /><br />America, shareholder central, has gone from 90% White to 65% White and falling since 1965. Germany is 90% White (and German, I think) today. I doubt one of the countries you mention is less than 90% native stock.<br /><br /><i>What Steve has grappled with, but not fully recognized, is how intertwined (like the Tidewater Aristocracy) the corporate, media, and government elite are. They all attend the same schools, broadly know each other, come from the same families, espouse the same liberalistic values, mouth the same PC platitudes, and owe their standings for the most part NOT to ability and boldness but by going along to get along in a milder version of China's Red Princes.</i><br /><br />No, they don't. A substantial portion of that elite is Ashkenazi. And Ashkenazis are not liberals. They're "rice liberals." Rice liberals, like rice Christians, join the coalition because it puts rice in their bowls, not because they believe or follow the rules. That's why real liberals recoil in horror at the idea of having ethnostates for themselves, while rice liberals love the idea and pursue it vigorously and shamelessly.<br /><br /><i>And this happens in zero-shareholder value places like Italy, Sweden, and Germany as much as the US. Japan ALONE has not been swamped by mass immigration, likely because people were already jammed too tight in cities,</i><br /><br />Absolutely wrong. None of the countries you mention has been swamped by mass immigration the way the US has, despite the fact that they had less "diversity" to begin with.<br /><br />Your posts <i>are</i> educational, though. They're so WRONG that they force people to correct them, and everybody who didn't know gets to find out.Svigorhttp://svigor.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-24922034036537563222012-08-12T08:21:17.135-07:002012-08-12T08:21:17.135-07:00I'm currently dieting, and my beef with carbs ...I'm currently dieting, and my beef with carbs (har har) is less about what the studies say and more about calorie counting.
