I agree with Carl Futia. Good to see such high-profile pessimism:

How about "revisioning" of the Wall St. Journal itself?

And it really WAS the death of equities...by some measures:

Quote:
Bonds beat stocks by factor of 11 times from 1981 to 2009

Yes, and you'd have been 11 times richer. Listen closely to Shilling's analysis of the past 28 years. In his Insight newsletter he compares the performance of the S&P 500 stock index to the bond market. First he focuses on his "all-time favorite graph" comparing "the results from investing $100 in a 25-year zero-coupon Treasury bond at its yield high (and price low) in October 1981, and rolling it into another 25-year Treasury annually to maintain that 25-year maturity."

His bottom line: "On March 31, 2009, that $100 was worth $16,656 with a compound annual return of 20.4%. In contrast, $100 invested in the S&P 500 at its low in July 1982 was worth $1,502 last month for a 10.7% annual return including dividend reinvestment. So Treasurys outperformed stocks by 11.1 times."

Never heard of this fabulous alternative? Of course not. Wall Street can't make millions in commissions this way. Instead, during this same 28-year period, Wall Street was using high-pressure sales gimmicks to sell its losers to America's 95 million vulnerable investors.

Of course this was made possible that most rare of historical anomalies, the death of inflation. But aren't we all on the same train in the end?

WSJ's "pointilist" sketch of Obama features the smile front and center. Looks like they need him.

Don't forget Businessweek's cover story last week, entitled "The Housing Abyss":
