If you really believe that then I am afraid you are in for a bit of a nasty shock. The next three years are going to be as bad as 79-82. The markets crash is both a cause and a symptom of the fracture of the credit markets, which is by itself going to cause significant pain. That is overlaid by those economies where indebted consumers are going to have no choice but to rebuild their balance sheets as the value of their assets goes below their outstanding debt. It's going to be really ugly, really quickly, in the 'real' economy.
