This is a great article. It is crazy how little things change in a hundred years. Hopefully we aren't on the brink of a 1930s type correction

It took a Great Depression to get the original New Deal. I think there’s enough political headwind still from the Recession to afford another ND, but just saying.

The crazy thing is there was a big market correction in the early 1900s. I’ve read it helped create the environment and had many of the same bad market actions that eventually brought about ‘29. History might rhyme sooner than later. There are definitely worrying trends too.
