What we have at the moment is a world with a rapidly growing population, with rapidly increasing productivity leading to a lot more work value sloshing around. That's causing some asset bubbles as interest rates are probably too low and leverage is being offered too easily. Simply just too much money chasing too few assets. So maybe the assets are currently over valued and we will get a pull back.
But I don't buy your Great Depression argument (90% drop in the DOW in 3 years and 25%+ unemployment). 20-30 % pullback like 2000 -- maybe. But I'm getting awfully jaded with the Cassandra forecasts that would need a 30% pullback on the S&P just to get down to the point where the doom was first predicted.
