I like the effort to place current market conditions into historic perspective which leads me to conclude that the politics of fear continues to be a tool politicians use to push their agendas along. We need more exposure of your line of rational comparison to influence the emergence of realistic confidence. Confidence gained will steer the market positively, and might dilute to some extent the power of the sky is falling crowd.
