This is all very interesting, but trying to predict the stock market by graphs and patterns will never work. They forgot to take into account that Americans are basically bullish in their soul, willing to take risks, willing to work very hard to succeed,inventive,and have more ideas than any other nation.Add greed and the will to be number one and the graphs blow up. I don't see much point, but it was a nice academic exercise.

Americans, last I looked are people. I doubt that we have repealed the laws of human nature that have led to various bubbles, and subsequent collapses, in the past (including some nice ones here in the good old U. S. of A., if I recall ...).

I suspect that your line of reasoning better supports the conclusion that America makes bigger bubbles, not collapse-free bubbles.
