1987 versus 2007
I keep repeating I am not a fan of the 1987 parallel to 2007. I am not saying its impossible -- just less likely than other potential parallels (My choice is 1973, Doug Kass' is 1937).

Barry - have to say I was with you but if one believes that patterns ar truth and repeat that's a scary chart. Just for us learning- and memory-impaired types could you re-fresh us on what's different about the economy ? And what's different about the markets ?
To my understanding we had a major inflation worry with growing credit problems on the first. But Black Thursday ?
