I have seen the overlay for the NASDAQ circa 1998-2003 and it is reminiscent in a scary sort of way.<br/><br/>What I find a bit off-putting is the 14 years it took for Japan to hit rock bottom. We say it can't happen here but policy makers are making many of the same decisions as the Japanese. Marcus, I just might try the overlay.
