Do cycles exist in the financial markets?

Take a look at the black line in the graph below. The U.S. stock market had a gigantic bubble back in 2000. When it burst, stocks came crashing down. Over the next several years, policy makers did all they could to get things going again, focusing mostly on monetary policy and increasing homeownership. This had the unintended consequence of creating too much inflation, which caused central bankers to tighten aggressively. Thus began what will almost certainly be declared a recession.

This mimics the US stock market bubble back in 1929...

At least the snotty 27 year olds are incredibly
intelligent and have a future in many places.

Getting Joe/Josephine Six-Pack to take over the debt on the company
you fly into the ground, thereby preserving your bonuses/golden parachute...
virtually "PRICELESS"!!!

And yes, they do really have a future.
Some will be dismayed when they find out they can't turn down
the thermostat at their final destination.

You may very well end up with both.

For a few weeks now I've been saying that we're probably going to lose 30% to 50% of all the hedge funds in the world and the majority of Freepers said "good riddance'.

Well this is what happens when you redeem 30% to 50% of all the hedge funds in the world. And it isn't over. There is a great deal of capital coming out of the capital markets. What's going to be left when it's over will be unrecognizable to many. And as much as the equity market seems to be upset, righht now the fixed income market is substantially worse.
